Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I have noticed that some albums, when transferred to the iPod, show up twice, but with a couple of songs in one entry and the rest of the songs in the other entry. I've checked all the metadata, and everything matches. I've removed the album from the iPod and reloaded it, and the same thing happened. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
iPod classic, iOS 7.0.2, 160GB
See Grouping tracks into albums. For a classic either every track from the same album needs the same Artist or the album must be marked as a Part of compilation and compilations must be enabled within the classic's menus. There also needs to be absolute consistency with spelling & capitalization in both primary and sort fields.

I've checked the capitalizations, or whether something is in parentheses, like (Remastered), and those remedies haven't helped on the ones that still show up as duplicates. I'll take a looking at that link when I get home tonight and see if it helps. Thanks for responding.
Trailling spaces is one that can be easily missed. The trick of adding a trailing X to the fields that matter (artist, album, sort artist, sort album in this case) and then removing it again, can help.

Why are albums showing up twice as partial albums?
