[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!

What happened to this feature, someone I know has it on their phone, and then I had it for like a day and it disappeared?

Ich habe viele Songs unter Lieblingsongs und möchte diese auf verschiedene Playlists verteilen. Wie kann ich aber am Song erkennen in welchen Playlists er steckt.

Ok, so I just created an account and read through all of these posts. It looks like some people have the fix of a "radio Button" on the mobile app. This radio button that shows what playlist a song already exists on. My friend has this feature on his phone (android) and I don't on my phone (android). I uninstalled Spotify and re-installed with no difference. Is this fix still only being tested, or am I missing something?

@ChexMix Thank you so much for your Spotify Playlist Manager! 

I'm not sure why Spotify is not taking action on this, but I'm so glad a great person who knows how to do the hard work was willing to make it available to us (for free)!! Because my playlists are so complex this has been such a time saver.

Thank you!!

I don't know who else has this problem but I'm struggling with my ADHD and it's taking so long for me to cut down on my way-too-many playlists, including songs that are in the wrong playlist. 

For music fanatics who have been collecting for years and want to shuffle things around, it would be handy to right-click a track, to then see an option: 

i.e. > "See in my playlists" 

    > "Chill"

    > "Soft"

    > "Floaty beats"

All playlists that song is in jump to the top of playlist list or another drop-down, and you could have an interactive tick next to each (to deselect duplicates in an unwanted playlist)

Hi everyone,

Thank you for all the support and feedback you've given to this idea!

We have some exciting news to share with you: you can now tap the green check mark icon  of a song/episode to see which playlists it's been saved in! You also get quick access to all of your playlists in case you want to add the song/episode to (or remove it from) some of your other playlists:

The playlists the item's been saved in will also have a check mark.

Thanks again for helping us make Spotify better. We're always striving to provide the best possible user experience and your feedback is greatly appreciated.
