You use iTunes.

Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to factory settings using a computer - Apple Support

A factory restore erases the information and settings on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod and installs the latest version of iOS, iPadOS, or iPod software.

support.apple.com

It's going to download the latest firmware, install it, and then they're ready.

The iPod won't automatically sync with the library after a restore. It loses the association to it.

Still, you can make a backup of your library's XML by going to File > Library > Export Library...

iTunes was designed to have multiple devices syncing different things at the same time though.

Restore in iTunes is what your looking for.
