itunes/iphone iOS storage discrepancy, causing music syncing issues

Since updating from iOS 7.0.4 to 7.1.1 itunes is not displaying accurate storage information.

major issue in filename structure
for example
artist:MAVADO
title:pAYPA (PAPER)
album:FIRE SUPREME RIDDIM
file name from mp3:MAVADO - PAYPA (PAPER) (RAW).mp3
file name on phone:
/iTunes_Control/Music/F07/_MAV.mp3

if I were to sync another track from my computer onto my phone with a file name beginning in 'MAV'
-There is a possibility that _MAV will land on folder 07
-When and if it does land on folder 07, that mp3 would not sync on the phone.
-The mp3 that was already on the phone is now listed twice on my music app on the phone. 1)listed with correct and original tags 2)listed with wrong tags from the mp3 that I was suppose to sync while keeping its original album art
