When I go to sync my music to my Ipod through Itunes, my music is not alphabetical. So when I go to my Ipod I click music, then songs, but the songs are just in a random order even though they are alphabetical in my library on itunes. Does anyone know what is wrong and how I can fix it
It probably has something to do with the Album Artist ID Tag on your tracks - or how iTunes changed it.

I can only suggest not using iTunes and fixing your tracks using a better player like Winamp or Mediamonkey.

sort by using a different column

pres the 'name' column at the top and it will sort alphabetically by song name.
Firstly, your tunes probably aren't in alphabetical order in your itunes library - you've just got them sorted that way (song name column selected).

Secondly, tunes on iPod can't be sorted.  Period. They will only appear in the order they were added to the device.  It may look random, but it is not.  The only way around it is to add the "Z"s first, then the "Y"s, then the "X"s and so on...
