Way to prevent duplicates in playlists.

[LakeWorthB]

I have big playlists, and would like a built in way to prevent duplicates from occuring in my playlists.  This could be an option to prevent, or select/hide duplicates.

This is way overdue. If the UID for the song already exists in the playlist, skip it and notify the user.

Totally Agree!

Please add! I was very surprised Spotify kept re-adding the same song to the same playlist.

Either ignore a re-add, or (better) just indicate which playlist(s) the song is already in.

PLEASE OH PLEASE OH PLEASE
oh lord

oh please

such a huge time vortex removing duplicate tracks

oh MAN

it's shocking this is only "under consideration"

I'd like to duplicates to be avoided. If I add a track twice, it shouldn't be added the second time. Unless, perhaps, I explicitly enable a "dupes allowed" option on the playlist.

New to Spotify myself and find this to be a big problem ...

Why does it take Spotify so long to implement tiny but crucial fixes such as these?

I would like it if, when you went to add it to a playlist, It highlighted the playlists it was already in. I often lose track of the songs I listen to using the radio.

Great idea!

I too have huge playlists and I keep having to use ctrl + f to find if I have already added a song to my 300+ track playlists!  This should be an obvious feature to be added and would require very little extra code.  

Again Spotify: get with the program and start adding reall features.  Your dev team is abismally slow at fixing problems and adding features users have requested for years.
