[Apple iPod] Confused about operating my new Ipod

I had an Ipod Nano 8 GB 2nd. generation model but it died.

However I had songs on it as well as Podcasts. Somehow some of the the Podcasts ended
up mixed in the music lists on the Ipod itself.

When I would open the Ipod page in Itunes (current version) on my computer everything
appeared to be in it's respective folder and not mixed together so I was never able to
figure out how to correct the problem.

I just got the new Ipod Nano 8 GB and of the 500 or so songs that I should have on it I see
only about a dozen on the Ipod. I am confused about this.

My computer is a 2.16 GHz. Intel Duo running OSX 10.4.11. AND iTunes 7.5.

I have a folder in my User Folder called "ITunes" which has within it:

A folder called "Album Artwork"
A file called "iTunes Library"
A folder called "iTunes Music" (which hold my 500 songs and I don't see any Podcasts)
Itunes Music Library xml

There is another folder in my User Folder called "Music" which has 2 folders within it
called:

Podcasts -which does contain all my Podcasts

The other folder is called "iTunes" and contains:

A folder called "Album Artwork"
A file called "iTunes Library"
A folder called "iTunes Music" which has no songs but only my Podcasts
A folder called "Previous iTunes Libraries" containing a file called "iTunes Library"
A folder called iPod Games containing 2 folders which are both empty.

WHEW!

I suspect that when I transferred my data from my old G4, something got screwed up. I
think just re-arranging these folders and discarding some files would do the trick but I'm
not sure how to go about this.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Sy
