Am hoping someone here might be able to solve a long-standing frustration experienced whenever syncing my iPod to iTunes.
Each and every time I plug in my iPod to update it (be it to sync new podcasts, new audio tracks, etc.), alongside copying new files to my iPod, iTunes also resyncs tracks that had already been sycned - and each time it appears to be the same tracks. Several...hundred tracks.
In the attached screenshot, it's resyncing a track from my Anarchy Online collection. It also resyncs tunes I've either copied from CD or downloaded via any number of sites (bandcamp, etc.). What I cannot determine is: why?
Initially, I thought perhaps it was due to the codecs used to encode each individual mp3 file, so I tried converting all the files to AAC format.
That didn't work.
Perhaps it's simply updating the status of songs that have recently been placed?
Except that wasn't the case either.
A friend suggested there might be a DRM-related issue, except I cannot see how that's possible, as the songs in mention have come from a variety of locations, and don't share any commonalities aside from, well, being music.
Was hoping that someone might be able to provide some guidance as to why this continually happens and what might be done to fix this issue.
The version of iTunes that I'm using is 12.6.1.25

Thank you in advance to any parties that reply to this thread and provide assistance.
Cheers,
