iTunes self-duplicating audiobooks

[stewacide]

iTunes has started duplicating and re-duplicating audiobooks. I believe this started with the update yesterday. Any ideas how to solve this?

I have the audibooks stored on a different volume from my main library (on an external drive, where the library and music files reside on the internal Macintosh HD). This has never been a problem before.

I removed all the audiobooks, re-added them, and the same thing occurs!

It's not duplicating the files, just the iTunes library entries.

I can't be the only person this is happening to?

The amount of ridiculous bugs I've been having with Apple products recently has me thinking the expensive-hardware-for-smooth-software-experience trade-off isn't paying off anymore.

Same problem here. I think the probable cause for this is that Apple removed "Album" view from Audiobooks and every track now shows up as a separate entry/audiobook. I don't know how to fix it though. Renaming every track by adding the album name in front of the track name isn't feasible in my case - my library contains over 170 audiobooks.
