[Playlists] See which playlists a song has already been added to

[xclarra]

Sometimes I think of or hear a song and I want to add it to a certain playlist but I’m not sure if it’s already in there, or I just want to know what playlists it’s in (e.g. I accidentally added the song to the wrong playlist and want to take it out, but wasn't sure which one I accidentally clicked/pressed on). It would be nice to to have a feature where you can check which playlists of yours a song has been added to. I know that you there’s a notification if it’s a duplicate, but it would be more convenient if the song is in multiple playlists to just see all of them at once rather than getting that notification one by one for all of them, if that make sense.

Edit: someone in the comments suggested having checkmarks next to the playlist names in the "Add to playlist" drop-down and that would be perfect!

Thank you, I needed this feature so much 😃

I loved the feature when adding a song to a playlist all the playlists it was already on were displayed. Why is it gone already?? If some people didn’t like it maybe there could be a setting to choose whether or not to display them.

The desktop application in Windows seems to be working now but the iPhone version is still broken.

My work flow is this : Hear a song I like, add it to Liked Songs. Periodically review Liked Songs, moving songs to appropriate personal playlist, removing them from Liked Songs.

Over time, I have fallen behind with the process. For whatever reason I have 500 songs on Liked Songs.

I would like to see which of those songs I have playlisted elsewhere. There are too many to do one at a time.

This new feature has been great but for the last 3 weeks or so it is gone from my iOS mobile, it still works on desktop. Anyone else experience this? I have the latest version installed. Maybe a bug happened? It was a very helpful feature to me!

it used to show me all the playlists I had the song saved in. now it doesnt show me any playlist, just all my playlists in the order I have sorted them…

Great addition, however when the song is in a playlist that is inside a folder, it does not show up on top like "Liked Songs" or "Downloaded" as shown in the image above.

This feature doesn't work on the iPhone app, and in desktop application there is a very specific way to get to it but if you just hit add to playlist menu then it doesn't show on desktop either. This feature may have been implemented but there is definitely a big defect in the implementation. Maybe is like @Abhi_a noted above. If the playlist is inside a folder then it doesn't get sorted the way it is intended. I have not tried reproducing the idea about the folders yet.

Just wanted to add my voice to those asking that this be fixed in the iPhone app. I really rely on having the quick list of playlists I put a song in instead of checking to make sure it’s in each playlist I want it to be. I was surprised to wake up and find it gone a few weeks ago. Please bring it back!!
