How do i get rid of duplicates in a playlist without deleting one track at a time manually?

Have had spotify since it came out. Had the beta, recived a key back in the days..

My lists are getting really big since I keep adding them to 3 different lists only, i have plenty of duplicates and It will take days for me to manually get rid of them all.

Is there any shortcuts?

I don't know about any options on how to do it automatically but...

My advise would be: sort the songs by track, so you can see the dublicates (you can do it by clicking on "TRACK" in the playlist interface). Then use CMD+Shift to mark several song at once. And then Delete.

Well, i have around 2000 tracks, so that would take some time. That's what i want to avoid.

There isn't an automatic filter in Spotify yet, but there's an idea that was proposed by someone and they've just added a feature to stop adding repeated songs to playlist, look here:
