Help! iPod not synch'ing completely

Just noticed that my iPod doesn't completely synch with my Mac.

For example, the Beatles album '1' has 27 tracks. They're all in my iTunes.

When I update my iPod (manually, for all checked tracks), only 16 of the tracks from the album '1' are transferred to my iPod. (I have 40GB free on my iPod, so it's not a space issue.)

What's happening to the rest? I'm nonplussed.

Any ideas/suggestions?

Thanks

G4 Quicksilver, iTunes 6.0.4 (updated with the latest software), 1GB RAM, iPod colour 60GB.

Thanks, b

I have tagged all my music ... so I don't think that the tagging is the issue.

In fact, this particular album was tagged by iTunes when I loaded it and all the tracks (missing and synch'ed) have the tags.

iTunes shows me all 27 tracks. The iPod shows only 16 - when I look at the tracks using iTunes as well as when I look at the tracks by album/songs/artist on my iPod.

Thanks for the help.

Cheers

David

Dragging the tracks from my iTunes Library to the iPod seems to have fixed the problem ... I have all my tracks on the iPod now.

However, this is not the way it should work! iTunes should automatically update all the tracks on the iPod.

Right?
