songs are doubling up in database

Hi there.

I have a ipod video 30gb. When browsing songs in my database, they seem to be doubled up. E.g. when I view a particular artists's album, it has the correct list of songs in there.. and then they are repeated.

I went back to settings, and clicked initialise database (to start from scratch), and it seems to be the same. Is there a setting I've missed that doubles up songs?

Llorean:
This has so far always meant that you really do have two copies of that song on your player, you just don't see the other copy because it's somewhere like your recycle bin.

Create a playlist with the duplicate songs, save it, and open it in a text editor, as an example, and you'll see immediately whether they really are the same file or not.

starboy5:
good idea.. and I got to find out how to make playlists  ;D

The files really are the same though.. here is a fragment from that file:

Player's have recycle bins? I always assumed that it was like deleting something from a flash drive.

Llorean:
HD based players are usually treated by windows like a USB hard disk. Thus they have recycle bins, in most cases.
