I'll try to look at this.  There's been some sort of a double-add in the code 
for a long time but I could never pin down exactly when it happened.  For 
instance, I used to see it when new things were added in folders and a scan 
was done, but this was fixed by the collection browser being redrawn after.  
Perhaps that isn't being done when copying in music that way.

I don't have an iPod which makes it fairly impossible to look at this, 
however -- what version of libgpod are you using?  And also, were you using a 
different version before?  I remember hearing something either in IRC, or on 
this or the gtkpod-devel mailing list about artwork troubles, but unless our 
plugin is doing something funky it may be a libgpod issue.  Perhaps other 
Amarokers with iPods can look into this.
