Its to do with the tagging - i get it sometimes after i rip.
I use MC9 select all the songs from the problem artist - change to a random name, go back in and put in the correct name - and you should have the issue sorted!
The best one so far was with the Foo Fighters - no less than showing 5 times on the iPod!

Monkey's got it right. It's often due to trailing spaces after the tags.

Yea i had the same problem, I had to fix the tags of all my files. The wired thing is I never had this problem with my gen 2 Ipod.
