Indicator that a song is already on my playlist

Hi @Rafael. ,

IMO, we don't need to improve the notification, but to add some sort of icon that a particular track is already part of a playlist. For instance, in the print screen below the track “he needs me” belongs to a playlist, but there is no indication/icon of that (in fact, the menu says “add to playlist...”):

Thanks.

I agree that this is something really needed as I find adding songs to lists that already have it. This should not happen but it is. I don’t know why, in some cases I found exactly the same song in the same list.

Hello @casaresjm, could it be that the two tracks, although being the same, do not come from exactly the same album? For example it happens that an album exists in two versions on Deezer, for example the standard edition and the deluxe one, or the censored and explicit ones.

Cheers

Thank you Kevin, but it wasn’t the case as while being the same album name I also clicked on it and I was sent to the same one, unless they have the same art, songs and date of release. Yes, it was strange. If I found another one I will document it here.

Please do @casaresjm as all tracks, even though almost identical, have a completely different ID on the system, and that's why they might not get picked up 

Hey @Rudi,
What with this case?
I can’t remember how many times I tried to add multiple times the same track to my playlists because I didn’t know that I added it before. Such information would save time a lot!
Something like ‘you have this track on x playlists’ or even directly - the list of playlists where this track already exists.

Hey @nikipedia 

There's a pop-up message that appears when you try to add a track already on your playlists. In which app are you listening to Deezer on?

Even if song has different versions, Deezer should tell us which are already added.

We are not actually asking to improve that notification, we want an option where we can see which of our playlist already have the song playing. I think this could be achieved by:

• When you touch the tree botons that shows all the options, just show at the botton something like: “Included in the playlists: “x”, ”y”, ”z”... ” with a message that goes left to rigth like in a car radio, to be able to see all the playlist names.
• When you tap to add the song to a new playlist, in the existing window where you choose the playlist, just show first at the top, and highlighted, the playlists that already have that song.

We really need something like this, i think no other streaming music plataform have something similar, it would be atractive to musice lovers.

I personally agree with you @nemterest, thank you for explaining in detail.

I covered this feature with one of our product managers a few weeks ago, on improvements that are very much sought by our community users. So it looks promising now, let's see which new features will be added to development in the near future. I know there are some new things on playlists under development right now, especially collaborative options
