Two things come to mind:
(1) Are you positive your iPod is reporting only the space occupied by your music files? There are other files on an iPod that take up space.
(2) I wonder if the block size on your computer is different than the block size on the iPod's hard drive. That could account for the size differential.

1)i believe there are only music files on there; would other files be listed within the music/songs/albums,etc.?
2)sorry for being dense but what do you mean by block size?
Thanks for your help.
...short of the long is that it has to do with how data is organized and made accesible versus efficiency.
Check out http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/Block%20size%20%28data%20storage%20and%20transmission%29 and do a couple of googles for more depth on this topic.
