Version: 4.1.15.1828
It has taken me over 2 years to figure this out. I have created a number of Smart Playlists. I have organized smart playlists by nesting some inside of another. For example:
[o] Rock 3+
[x] Rock 4+
[x] Rock 5+
In this example, this dynamically builds playlists based on the Genre being "Rock" and the Rating being 3+, 4+, and 5+.
Everything works fine UNTIL I sync with an iPod, regardless of which generation (I have tried 4 different ones). However, I currently am using the last ever made 160gb iPod with a hard drive.
I noticed that the iPod has replicated songs that I never selected by smart playlist. Under the iPod properties, Auto-Sync (--> Device) tab --> Playlists, I selected certain smart playlists. From the example above, the [X] represents a playlist I selected for sync. Rock 4+ and Rock 5+ are nested under Rock 3+. It appears that it is syncing Rock 3+ as well, thus filling up and crashing the iPod (a separate bug).
So, it's syncing playlists that were not selected. It's been doing this for several previous versions as well.
