Transferring playlists to iPod creates duplicates!
I have my iPod set to manually update, everything on there I drag from iTunes, because iTunes has a lot of stuff I don't necessarily want on my iPod.
I've created several iTunes playlists which feature a mixture of songs already on the iPod, and songs which aren't on the iPod. Yet when I transfer the playlist from iTunes to the iPod, it adds the duplicate tracks! Shouldn't the iPod recognise that some tracks are already on it? I can maybe understand if the tracks have different artist/album tracks, but they seem to be identical - yet it places the same song on my iPod again!
Is there a way round this, or is the iPod simply not clever enough to recognise duplicate tracks, and use the existing ones when transferring a playlist?
