9.8GB of other??? data

in iPod + iTunes + AppleTV edited January 2014
My ipod summary is showing 9.8GB of "other" data on my ipod summary page...



it isn't video, or photos... and i have never used the ipod as an external hard drive... what could this be?



i thought album art, but that just seems ridiculously big for it to be album art....



any assistance here is appreciated... i just got new Mac Book Pro and want this issue resolved before i move itunes and my library over to the new machine...



thx in advance...

    Try enabling the iPod for disk use and seeing if there are any files on it.
