On Itunes the Library music songs total says 4477 songs,
on Itunes the IPOD music total says 4451 songs
and in the IPOD itself, Settings>About also says 4451 songs.


What is happening that when Itunes is set to synchronise everything,
that some songs get 'lost'?

thanks yes. I found a blog with some answers.
I had to deliberately corrupt the .itl database file and accept a
rebuild using the existing .xml file and music folders. I had to include
a little editing of the .xml file previously, too. The problem was a
combination of incorrect .itl data, some invalid entries in the xml
file, and a couple of dozen duplicates. Quite a days work!

This got me well on the way:
