My Question or Issue

Hello,

Please implement a feature to the web player (similar to what's on the desktop app) which prompts the user that a song you're trying to add is already in the chosen playlist.

Also, please add a feature that removes duplicates that are already in playlists.

Thank you.

Hi there @5kyfall2017,

Thank you for your post here in the Community.

We tried from our end and can confirm that it actually warns you if you're trying to add a song in a playlist that already exists in it on the web player.

Can you try to clear your cache and cookies to see if the issue persists?

We also suggest that you have the latest browser version.

If the issue persists, can you let us know which browser/browser you're using?

When it comes to a feature that removes duplicates that are already in playlists - we can't say when or if this will be implemented but rest assured that we're always trying to improve as we always strive to improve our features.

We'll keep an eye out for your reply.

Take care!

My Question or Issue

Exactly what the title states: The Web Player no longer tells me when I'm adding a duplicate song to a playlist. I've tried refreshing the page, clearing my cache, and even restarting the browser, but it still lets me add duplicates without letting me know.

This has been an issue for some time with the Web Player. Even when it was working, it was very inconsistent. Frankly I'm disappointed that this basic functionality (which works without issue in the app/desktop versions) is completely missing most of the time.

It's happening the same with me and don't know how to overcome it. Also using MS Edge
Support is highly appreciated

Hey @farosmike,

Thank you for your reply in this thread.

In this case, we'd like to gather as much info as possible. Would you mind sending us a bit more info about the inconvenience you're having? Are you having this issue with your Play Queue only? Sharing what troubleshooting you've tried so far would also be highly appreciated as this'll help us avoid repeating steps.

We'll be on the lookout.
