No longer able to tell if a song has been saved?! How to avoid duplicates in playlists?

[needforname]

Why Spotify did away with the yellow star is beyond me. It was an easy and effective way to tell if a song was already added to my collection. Without the star, it's going to be very easy to forget what songs I have saved....resulting in duplicates in my collection.

I guess my question is..."how can users tell if a song has already been saved without the tedioius task of having to cycle through our playlists?". Before it was easy...you see a yellow star next to a song...it meant that song was already in your starred folder.

Am I missing something here? Thanks for any help.

You get almost the same thing with Your Music, but you get a tick if it is saved in your music collection rather than a star.

Thank for the reply Peter.

So this feature doesn't work with the old "Starred" folder, but only the "music" folders? And there's no way to tell if a song has already been added to a playlist? Apparently I'm not the only one who wants this feature...as there are over 2000 users who agreed with this user's request from over 2 years ago: http://community.spotify.com/t5/Spotify-Ideas/Way-to-know-if-a-song-is-in-my-playlists/idc-p/817291#... Unfortunately the feature request has apparently fallen on deaf ears despite it being a feature that should be a given.
