Duplicates in iPod menu

fletch · 2006-01-03 18:57:37

Can somebody explain to me why there are duplicate artist names all over my iPod? I've just given the below as an example but all down through the artist menu, there appears duplicate artist names Thanks

Could be something as simple as an extra space at the far side of the artists name. In iTunes, I tend to select all the songs from the one artist, click get info, and type in the artists name again. This will make sure the name is exactly the same and should avoid duplicates.

yeah, do what he said, and when you update your ipod next (if you don't have it on auto update from itunes), then make sure you clear the songs you're changing from it before you put the renamed versions on.
