Why does my 8gb iPod Touch say it is over capacity when transferring songs from my 4gb iPod?, Why does my 8gb iPod Touch say it is over capacity when transferring songs from my 4gb iPod?

Question

Okay So my little sister got a new 8Gb iPod Touch and it says that there is a little over 6Gb of space on it. I guess a little must be used up for formating or the operating system of the device. So that is normal I'd assume. Then she starts to sync her music library to the divice, all of the music that she had on her old 4Gb iPod.During the process it says that she is over capacity by .22Gb? How is that possible? How is it that her entire music library from Itunes and her CDs, a grand total of 700 songs, were able to fit on the 4Gb iPod but makes the 8Gb with 6Gb of usable space (said to be able to hold like 2,000 or more songs) over capacity?! could someone run me through a process to get all the music together so that we can get it set up right. I really have a feeling that somewhere we must have screwed up.
Thank you in advance for any help you can give.

This is really a guess but perhaps it's the factory-installed apps.
You might want to try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
