Updated tracks using Get Info but not updated on iPod

Okay so I've been experiencing this problem for YEARS now and still no resolve.

If I want to make a changes to a track already on my iPod using "Get Info" in iTunes the change seems to update on iTunes but when I go to my iPod the change hasn't been updated. I know some people mention syncing it but I manage my music manually and I never store my music on iTunes. I have too may tracks to store on my computer. I only use iTunes to transfer music to my iPod after that I delete it from iTunes.

The only workaround I found is to delete the track from my iPod add it to the iTunes library make the changes there and then transfer it back to my iPod which is time consuming. I've found loads of threads on this dating as far back as 2007 but no definite solution.

Has a solution been found yet?

Thanks in advance.

iPod Touch 3rd Generation running iOS 5.1.1

Not that I have seen in this forum. Just what you did, Delete and resync.

Thanks lllaass for the update.

It used to work but it's been so long since it did I can't remember what year the problem first appeared. And I know it's not only me and surely Apple must be aware of this by now. What seems like such a small problem should have a solution/fix. I wouldn't mind but it's these little problems that keep cropping up and they are there for years with no resolution. It's just not good enough not when I think about how much I paid for my iPod.

*If anyone who comes across this thread has a newer iPod and has the same experience, could you let me know.
