"Automatically fill free space with songs" keeps putting me over capacity

Hi,

When I select "Automatically fill free space with songs" my ipod touch then goes over capacity by .01gb.

So I unclick "sync photos" to free up some room and the same thing happens.

Then, I deleted a bunch of apps I wasn't using. I sync with "Auto-fill" unselected, then turn "auto-fill" back on, and it says I am over capacity again.

Any tips on this? Thank you!

Ipod Touch 3g, iOS 4

Ah, it looks like the solution is here:

And involves going to the summary tab, selecting "manually sync music" then deleting all of my songs and resyncing. That shouldn't take more than 45 minutes. I'll report back if it works.

Ok, tried deleting all songs, resyncing, and then adding songs and it still puts me at over capacity.

Update: I did the manual sync, etc. and although Itunes told me that I was over capacity, when I selected "auto fill with extra songs," during the actual sync everything calibrated and it worked. Also, turning off "convert high bitrate songs to AAC" really sped things up.
