I don't know why it does this, but it's been doing it a lot ever since I got iOS 7. At first it wasn't duplicating things, but now it is. It's frustrating just seeing multiples! What is this?

One of those tracks looks like it's in the cloud and not even downloaded yet.

It's due to an error, failed download, failed sync... I had it happen with a movie once. I had the clear the /Media/Purchased/ folder in order to get it to disappear. Beware though, it removes all your media purchases so make sure you've got them transferred to your computer first, and you'll have to sync them back (or re-download from the cloud) afterwards.

If it's not a purchased item, google "ghost tracks" +iTunes.

That's so weird, I've downloaded all of the tracks like this a long time ago. I just restored iOS 7 and they were gone for awhile, but came back. Apple should fix this I think. I usually move music from my computer to my iPhone, not from the cloud, anyway.
