Why Multiple Covers?
FrizzleFried:
Alright...I've put a major effort in to cleaning up my tags, etc in the juke...but with about 10,000 songs it's a pain in the ass for sure.
I've always had situations where albums are unexplainably broken up in to 5 or 6 "albums" in the juke...but I don't know why. All the tags appear identical to others that work perfectly.
Example: My NOFX CD with 8 tracks is actually showing up as 8 different albums with a single track in each...but the tags are formatted the same as my other NOFX album that has 9 tracks in a single album. What gives? What field do I have to look at to prevent the multiple albums thing? I made sure each song had the "track" fields included (1, 2, 3, etc)...

I wonder if when you made changes to the tags the date and time on the file didn't get changed? If the timestamp doesn't change it won't re-read the tags.
Space Fractal:
I have seen extract the same problem in MultiFE when I was changed engine. It was happens when MultiFE diddent read unicode correctly and have readed a char to much and then treated like thier own album, but for some reason the extra char was never shown (I guess because its got null terminated in "first" byte").
Can this been the same issue (if it reappear after updating the timestamp)?
So check if they using 16bit strings or not.
FrizzleFried:
Can anyone recommend a TAG utility that is at least semi-automatic that could correct this issue? I have all my songs in individual folders, each with band name and album name...it would be just dandy if there was a utility that would go through them all and create proper tags for them all.

Tag and Rename is the one I always hear about, but I haven't actually used it.
If your songs are in folders by album and artist, you could turn off ID3 entirely and just use those.
