I have a 40gb iPod with around 5,800 songs on it. There is about 56mb space left. My library is significant larger than the iPod's capacity, so I have many songs unchecked.

On my last synch, iTunes created two separate "My iPod selection" playlists and the dialog box mentioned that it now synchs my iPod from these playlists. I would think that this would only occur if the data is beyond the iPod capacity. Is this due to my files being too close to the iPod's capacity?

Perhaps I should uncheck more songs or delete some non-music files (which in my case would consist only of album artwork)? After doing so, would do I set it up to synch from the library again, rather than from the playlists?

Thanks
