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.
Hello everyone. Spotify here. With the latest release of the Desktop app, this feature is now available across Desktop, iOS and Android. Thanks for the feedback. Enjoy!
I like to sort all my songs by playlists. Sometimes I add songs twicely (eg song released as single and then included in album). Spotify knows that I like songs like this and recomend it to me. I may forget that I already added it in my liked songs and special playlist and will add it second time. It create a chaos in my library.
Spotify already have a feature that check if song already in this playlist but in works only for current song and ID3 tags should match 100%.
I suggest to check not only for 100% match but for next tags:
1. name of song;
2. artist.
It should be enough to avoid situations like this. On my screenshot you may see same song from same artist but in different albums.
@EBReggie that's not a feature I want personally. As some artists I follow will release demo versions and variants of the same song with the same title on other albums (without marking it as a demo or a variant)
