I discovered what was causing the problem.  The problem, again, was
that songs were showing up two or three times when I would open or play
an album.  The culprit: I had cyclical (redundant) shortcuts to certain
music folders.  

Since I can only specify one folder for Slimserver to scan, I plugged
shortcuts into that folder, directing the server to other folders. 
What I failed to realize is that I had duplicate shortcuts, leading to
the same folder.  With previous versions of Slimserver, this wasn't an
issue - it knew that the shortcuts pointed to the same file, and
included the file only once in the database.  With 6.5, it counts the
file with each scan.

Long story short: if your playlists show the same file multiple times,
I recommend checking your shortcuts.
