Itunes and Ipod (1 Viewer)

I have used Ipod 4 for a couple of years now. Very handy thing indeed.

My main problem is that my many bird song files don't line up in alphabetic order.
I have renamed all the files but the program still seem to read the 'old embedded' names. I have renamed then in Itunes but still when I import the files to my Ipod they won't reline with the alphabet but simply add themselves to the end of the folder.

I also have a problem with files duplicating themselves. Very irritating to saw the least!

Any advice is appreciated or I will soon have to switch to Samsung and a different platform.

If you put them in a playlist and sort the playlist by name on the pc, does that help?
Used to do the trick for me.

Putting them in a playlist should definitely work - I've done that for audiobooks where for some reason the original order gets messed up.

As for duplicates that's a known ITunes problem. There was a discussion about that not long ago on this forum.

The above may be a solution. If you have many thousands of duplicates then spending money on a 'DUPLICATE CLEANER' is the solution. For a small library with only a few hundred dupes it's easy enough to delete one by one.

For those of a nervous disposition DO NOT do as one or two people advise on 'YOU TUBE' - you will delete your entire library!

There is a vid on 'YouTube' where a young guy does a decent job of explaining how 'TUNE SWEEPER' works.

Duplicates are the bain of many subscribers to iTunes but they refuse to address the problem.
