There is no duplicated song caution anymore!

There is no duplicated song caution anymore!

First seen at spotify web , I can add same song without caution. After I check spotify pc app , it also seems same issue is on there too. However interestingly app and web can't recognize old song so you can add duplicated song without caution but when after adding new song , you can't add second same song again cus app recognize new one and it doesn't let you to add (At least it sends you a caution.)

Hi @Freetimeactivity!

 

I just tried adding a song to a playlist of mine that already had that song, but I did get the pop up, saying "Already added". Note that there may be multiple versions of the same song that share the same name - they, however, have different Spotify URIs, so the app treats them as individual songs. Perhaps you didn't get the pop up because you added two different releases of the same song and the app detected them as separate tracks, even though they share the same name.

 

In any case, a short video of what's happening on your end will be greatly appreciated.

 

Cheers!

Unfortunately , songs are same. Same year , same album... Everything is same. Today I added a same song third times in 2 years. I checked that there is no other version of this song. 

I attached a different example for you to see the problem.

Hey @Freetimeactivity,

 

Thanks for the update!
Could you try sending us the links of these songs?
Both a link and a song URI would work.
Much appreciated!

Not that this helps much, but I rely heavily on this feature and it works as expected on my machine.
