Well, folks, I am officially off the deep end. I removed all music from my phone, unsynced music on iTunes, made sure all was as I want it, and re-synced. Now, instead of 430 of my over one thousand songs, I have 63, and 37 artists, some with different songs available than those on the songs playlist. This, despite the fact that I have about 600 songs checked for syncing, and all artists, genres, and albums otherwise unchecked. I do not know what is going on. Someone proposed off-list that I might have two iTunes libraries for some reason, but I can't imagine how that might have happened, and checking around, I see no way of determine that. Plus, if I see a list with songs checked and unchecked under devices, it would stand to reason that all checked songs should sync, if that is the available media. I am beyond frustrated at this point. Christine
