Delete duplicates from Spotify playlist in minute - guide

Hey to everyone.

 

UPDATE: IF YOU DON'T WANT TO FOLLOW THIS GUIDE, THERE IS A LITTLE TOOL WHICH WORKS STRAIGH AWAY WITH YOUR ACCOUNT AND DETECTS ANY DUPLICATES. http://jmperezperez.com/spotify-dedup/

 

Tired to watch duplicates 24/7 in your playlist? I show how you can delete all duplicates from your Spotify in less than one minute! Rate and comment my guide. I know everything about Spotify.

Go to this site http://paulvi.nl/deduplicator/. Please go to your Library or playlist in Spotify and select all tracks. Then copy and paste to Word/this forum/other software that convert those to text like in picture and then to this site in link. Then click DeDuplicate. Danger: do not close this page at all for a while. Also text is better than links because you may added duplicates where Spotify url is different, so this tool does not show those as duplicates when you use links for comparing.

Go to this site http://www.quickdiff.com/index.php. Go now to previous site. Copy and paste first box to left side & copy and paste second box to right side. Now compare.

Now just scroll and see all those highlighted lines (duplicates).

Search those now from Spotify playlist and delete (Search bar in Windows: CTRL + F). You may also want to check duplicates from Starred list view or Library view at the same time. Enjoy!

 

Hope this help! Big credits to anyone who created those awesome tools for us!!! However why Spotify does not provide a tool inside Spotify? But before this official tool, you can use my guide. I really like Spotify now, it's just simple to listen music and now realised how to listen without those duplicates... Really I can remember when I searched those manually. 😄

Easier method:  Just select all in your playlist (Ctrl-A), open MS Excel.  Paste.  Go to the Data tab and "remove duplicates".  Copy the remaining list of links, go back to your playlist, delete everything, and paste the Excel data there.

 

No outside websites needed.

Boom! Worked like a charm and was super quick! Thanks!

Wow, just removed 100 duplicate songs off my mega Spotify playlist and off others too in just half a minute due to using the DedUp website! Thanks!

Can I copy the playlist to a Google sheet, and remove duplicates?

As long as it has the removed duplicates feature for data that XL has, then yes, it'll do the same.

I've just installed spotify...when my premium version will end..all the playlists that i've created will remain or not?
Thank you

I'm feeling quite thick, but where do I paste the data? I removed the duplicate tracks easily with excel, but now I can't get them added back to a 'test' Spotify playlist. Are you using the Windows 10 desktop app, or the web player? I can't seem to get either to work.

 

Thanks. 

Thanks for this! another easy fix for a common issue Spotify doesn't even bother to solve. You win.

Just follow this tutorial 🙂

I think I have an alternative solution which is easier and doesn't involve downloading anything from suspicious/unknown sources. 

 

When you add a song to your playlist on your phone it warns you if you're about to add the same exact song twice. So it's more of a computer issue. What I do is I go in the playlist and then I press CTRL+F and search for key words (i.e the tracks name or artist). Then I can quickly see how many times it flagged the key words and I can delete whatever I want.It also works for similar but not identical track names so it really is the best way to go about it

 

You're welcome 

Sweet!!!! Worked like a charm!
