    Are any Restrictions  (Settings>General>Restrictions) set that would prevent syncing those songs to the iPod? (iTunes purchases only)

    Are they all iTunes purchased with the same iTunes account if they are from iTunes?

    No restrictions set but they are not purchased albums they are all albums that I have imported from CDs, I have no problem with the few purchased albums I have on iTunes.

    So yo are saying the NOW some CD songs that sync to the iPhone do not sync to tthe iPod and the other CD songs NOW sync to both devices?

     

    If so then try:

    Try:

    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      

    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at

    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

    - Unsync/delete all music and resync

    To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Manage Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music

    - Reset all settings                            

    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.

    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.

    - Restore from backup. See:                                               

    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes      

    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
