iTunes not syncing right?

So I finally got around to copying all my music from my old computer to my new one and adding a bunch of new stuff I've recently acquired. I plug in the iPod and it asks me if I want to sync it to this computer instead, and I say yes, and it goes on its merry way. I noticed one error message before I went to sleep, saying one song couldn't be copied because this computer isn't authorized. Checked that this morning and it was just something I must have copied from a friend's computer not realizing he'd bought it from iTunes. There were no other errors when I woke up. Yet now I'm looking at it and there's about a 100-track difference between my iTunes music and what got copied to the iPod. What could be causing this? Non-mp3 file formats? Is there any easy way to compare the two libraries so I can figure out exactly which songs didn't copy and why?

    yeah that song is protected for your friends computer. it is a lil bit of software the RIAA insisted that apple put on its tracks from i tunes.

    to bypass it burn the song onto a CD, and re rip it off of that burned CD. The burner does not take the copyright protection with the song. whamo you can sync it fine.

    Yeah, I get that part, it's the other songs that apparently didn't sync that I don't understand, and it didn't give me any warnings for others like it did with that one...
