Show if song is already in playlist and which one it's in

When I’m searching for music on the desktop app (or on android) and I’m not sure if I already got the song in one of my playlists I’d like to see a little text next to it saying something like already in your playlist “name_of_playlist”.

Same goes for Songs in the queue (when I’m listening to a playlist automatically created by Deezer which includes all of my music). There could be an extra column in the queue called From Playlist at the top and then the names of the playlists next to the songs.

This is something that has bothered me since I’ve started using Deezer.

Thanks for reading!

 

Edit: This is supposed to be only for playlists that the user created himself.

I already get this message, however, I believe if there's the same song, but from a different album, might not show this message...

 

 

So does that only pop up when you want to add a song to a playlist where it already exists in?

 

Because my suggestion was to have it as a permanent column in your queue as well as in the search view like I described. Please remove the ‘ALREADY EXISTS’ tag. This does NOT exist.

Don't worry about it, @Cyan. I've passed your comments to the teams working on this and other interface improvements. Have a nice weekend :v_tone2:

Hi this is the only think that bugs me too. When I like some song and I start to wonder did this song already exist in one of my playlists. So it would be nice when the flow is playing to have some indication if the song is a suggestion or it is from user libraly. Also It could be nice to have some search that brows all of your playlists and not force you to go to each one playlist and search if the song is already in it. Or some other feature that search for duplicate songs across your playlists.
