I had the same thing happen on mine, it would have the exact same album listed like 3 times in a row in cover flow. I went into iTunes, clicked into the songs' info and then set the Album Artist as the exact same and that made them all go into one album on coverflow. You can have all the songs set to the same Artist but that won't do it unless the Album Artist field contains the same exact name on every track. Hope that helps you, it worked for me.

<post edited by Host> , you probably shouldn't return it unless a horribly infectious epidemic is revieled within the next week that states "All IPods with multiple versions of albums are prone to explosive tendencies and should be returned to your nearest consumer as soon as possible"
PS: I have the same issue, and unless its causing you to foam from the mouth or devlop an addiction to Old Navy Commercials and Cranberry Juice, than you should worry about it, its Itunes, not your Ipod.

Album names should match EXACTLY. Like said, remove the (Disc n) bits and use the Disc n of m tags.

And if it has more than one Artist, ie. it's a compilation album, then mark all the tracks as part of a compilation album. Watch out for this one, I have many albums with single tracks including a guest artist that throws out the whole album, ie. Led Zeppelin on 14 tracks and "Led Zeppelin & Pink Floyd" on a middle track gives me 3 album artwork graphics.

Happened to me, but I quickly corrected these and everything was peachy.
