Ipod Duplicates

I have an old click wheel 20 gig Apple I pod and wondered why when I click on Artist on the main menu and then on say; ABBA there are two lists of my ABBA songs which appear to be exactly the same, why is this and how can I change it to save space? Thanks Pitza.

    Ok. what can happen when it's converting and importing files into your iTunes library is that you can up with two in the library - the original and a MP4 version which iTunes has created.

    In iTunes, click on the View then "Show Duplicates" option. It will then list all songs which have duplicates and you can choose which ones to delete.
    Once you've done that, connect the iPod and re sync it.
