Can't add music to my ipod?

When I synced my ipod on itunes it says my ipod is over capacity by just over 600MB so I went through my music library and deleted a few things, when I synced again, it said I had over 4GB of free space. However, when I try to add new music to my ipod, the bar at the top of itunes says its 'Copying 1 of 1' and nothing ever ends up on my ipod. (What's also really annoying is that it's copying 'Bed', a song which doesn't even exist in my library which doesn't make any sense.)

When I synced my ipod again it says it's 200MB over capacity, however when I got to my settings on my ipod it still says I have 4GB free space.

I'm super confused, could someone please help?

iPod touch (5th generation), iOS 9.3.1

First check you sync settings. You may be syncing more media than you think.

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:

Restore your device from an iCloud or iTunes backup - Apple Support

- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
