It sounds like you are running two differerent Itunes databases. An iPod will only sync with one installation of iTunes. If you plug it into another PC with iTunes on it, it will ask whether you want to sync and overwrite.

I've a 40Gb one with 8000 tunes onboard (how long did that take?). Guidelines I've read are that the battery will take 300 charges without a problem. Using it daily for 2+ hrs a day I charge mine twice a week. That means I would expect this battery to last at least 2 years.
If you think that it is similar to a cell phone battery and they die after about 2 years, this is reasonable. If you also look at the price of replacing a cell phone battery then the £70 doesn't look too bad either.

how resistant are they to water/dust are they???, work in an extremely dusty workplace (joinery workshop) just wondered if it will do it any harm or whether they are quite hard wearing?? |
The 20 and 40 Gb both come with all the accessories. One of those is a cover for the dock port. Use that in the workshop, that will keep the sawdust out of the dock. Keep the headphones plugged in and you should keep most dust out.
Think about spending the extra $100 / £60 on the 40Gb model - remember it can be used as a removable HDD from you machine - usefull for backing up important data, or transferring large amounts of data to other machines.
