Okay I dunno what's going on here, but suddenly iTunes decided one random song wasn't compatible with my iPod anymore. Can someone explain this for me?

When the iPod syncs I get an error saying this:
"Noise Brigade" was not copied to the iPod "SOCAMX's iPod" because it cannot be played on this iPod.

Now, I've had this song for awhile, even played it on my iPod without a problem many times. Why is iTunes suddenly complaining it won't work on my iPod?

I'm attaching a screenshot of the song summary in iTunes to show it is in fact a valid iPod-compatible song.

Also, my iPod is a 2nd Gen 10 GB. It has the latest software update, and I'm using the current iTunes (7.4.2) and Tiger 10.4.10. I haven't done any changes besides add a few songs to my iTunes library since my last sync.

Edit: and yes, it plays fine in iTunes.

Okay I fixed it, apparently I forgot I was messing around with the old Ringtones trick from awhile back and made a duplicate of the song with the m4r extension.

Weird that only now it started complaining about it though.
