iPod nano 2G do not shows title or artist, only song titles

Hi there,
I bought an used iPod Nano 2G and do not shows neither the artist nor the album on the Music menu, only the title of the songs are displayed in all the menus (Artists, Albums and Songs).
I tried several CDs from the iTunes library and even having a correct ID3 infomation the problem is always the same. On the other hand, my other iPod Nano 4G correctly shows the artists, albums and songs on their respective menus using the same CDs from the iTunes library.


I restored the iPod firm and reinstalled iTunes unsuccesfully.


Any idea about how to fix?
Thanks

iPod nano, Windows XP Pro

Thank you for the big support received, I took me long time to read all you responses 😁


Finally I found the "problem" myself: I don't know why but when there's only one album in the iPod Nano 2G the songs are shown in both the Artist, Album and Songs menus. Once you transfer a second album, the Artist and Album menus show the two items and in this way you can choice one or another.


On the other hand, with the iPod Nano 4G even if there's only one album inside, the menu structures are correct but of course you can only select the Album and Artist available.


So, all is correct with my Nano 2G 🙂
