Oh, come now. That's just ID3 management (which the iPod has always sucked at, but iTunes prior to v7 or so wasn't half bad at). And it's not Apple's fault you encoded as AAC so it would add their DRM to your content... or wait, guess it is.

Just for shits and giggles, I fired up my iPod. It's an "iPod." Not a 1st gen, not a 2nd gen, not a click wheel. It's the original, the dude that came to life Oct 23, 2003. And while the claim that "your entire music library" would fit on 5GB was laughable, I will say that the content I found on that old beastie (from 2007 or so) does read kind of like a long playlist.
