iTunes sync to iPod Classic got hosed somehow

What I used to do when syncing iPods was create a handful of playlists; not to play in order, but to hold what I wanted to put on my devices. So I had, say, a basic collection of jazz, another of rock, another of classical, etc. That way I didn't have to individually choose artists and albums. 

 

As an addition to this, I make a playlist for the phone, one for the ipod, and one for the car storage and then have the device just sync that playlist.
