Help with playlists

[a2hoo]

I just got my ipod 30 gb and have a question...

When I first synced I added all my songs to the ipod (using a pc)

Now, I made a playlist and wanted to add that to the ipod (these are songs already on the ipod just on a list like "exercise")

anyhow, synced caused duplicates of the files...

is this normal? If not, how do I avoid it? I am using Media center and/or ephpod ((not musicmatch, no, never)

Woah...wait. Your're using Media Center? No way it put dupes on.

The best way to do it is to sync (don't use File>Send To or Upload).

If you haven't check out the help guide in the MC9 board. What I recommend is to make a smartlist in MC9 with all the tunes you want on your iPod. Then, make your other playlists as smartlists (using the wizard). Always start off the other smartlists with "Playlist=iPod Tunes" (or whatever you name the first smartlist you made).

Then just sync all your smartlists. It will not create dupes.

ephpod is a different story, again, it shouldn't create duplicates as long as you aren't changing the file names of the files that are on the playlists.

You're right, the dupes came from ephpod...

I bought media center and am excited to use it with ipod!

thanks for the help!
