Why is my iPod running out of capacity due to "other"?

Question

When I try to sync new songs to my iPod, my iPod is running out of space. However, the majority of the data on my iPod is not audio, but a mysterious orange color labeled "other." What is this 'other' and how can I get rid of it to sync new songs?

Here is a picture of my capacity bar that shows up when I try to sync: http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b367/Koeji/capacitybar.png
