duplicate songs when transfered back onto ipod

Hi all,

Had a few problems with my new ipod so I've done a reset which has wiped all my songs vids etc. I have them all backup though on a external hdd the problem being when I explore the folder on the hdd there's 2444 files (15.5GB), however when I copied the files back onto my ipod I ended up with over 4000 with loads of duplicates even though they don't seem to appear on the hdd.

Any ideas? Cheers

    Been there, done this. Its when iTunes has been told to convert files to a format such as OGG so it converts MP3s and you end up with two of everything if its a file format the ipod already supports such as MP3, one named tune.mp3 and the same track in OGG format named tune.ogg.
