okay so when i change the information on a song in a playlist (genre or album or whatever) it doesnt change the info in the library and other playlists. It also doesnt change the info on my ipod. Any ideas?

What happens when you go back and look at the song in the playlist later? Are the changes still there, or did the song revert to it's original info? If the song has reverted back, it could be that the MP3 file is "read-only." You can check that by finding the file on your hard drive and then checking it's properties. (Normally the boxes to make changes are greyed out on read-only tracks, but I think previous versions of iTunes didn't do that.)
Windows: Right click on the file, choose "Properties" in the menu that opens. You'll see a checkbox for "Read-only"
Mac: Ctrl-Click on the file, choose "Get Info" from the menu. In the box that opens, you'll see an "Ownership & Permissions:" choice. (Click the arrow beside it if you don't see more detail.)
If this isn't your problem, maybe your iTunes installation is corrupt. Maybe try reinstalling it, with the latest version from Apple. Your library should stay intact when you do this, so you're not risking much.
Hope this helps!

I always change the info prior to using the song in a playlist or loading it on the ipod, so I can't be sure --
but try making the changes on the song in the lIbrary -- the library seems to take precedence over the playlists when issues of deletion are involved, anayway.

It is on your file properties. You may make change on the properties before add into iTunes. If you added the file, delete first but keep it on disk. Change the file properties, then re-add into iTunes and resync. to your ipod
