To delete you songs in iPod and not in iTunes library, you have to put iTunes Device sync to Manually Manage ticked as below, the example, is for iPod Touch, but applicable to iPod Classic. To s ync your c ontent manually:
1. Connect your iPod, iPhone, or iPad to your computer and select your device in iTunes (below Devices)

2. . 3. Click the Summary button and select Manually manage music and videos (below Options).

To add items to your device, drag videos, playlists, artists, genres, and albums to your iPod, iPhone, or iPad (below Devices).
