Playlist duplicate track warning
While we allow tracks to be played more than once, it might be a good feature to have a pop-up error display when a user adds a track that is already in the playlist.

Rick 97.3 The ARCThis is a great idea and one I thought of as well when I accidently uploaded a folder twice and duplicating the songs. During the upload process there should be options like:
Upload Options:
IMPORT MODE: (Select One)
Skip an existing track
Overwrite an existing track
Simply looks at the Artist - Title and if it matches an existing track, it performs the selection above.
Not case sensitive: My Artist - My Song, my artist - my song, MY ARTIST - MY SONG -

Progressive Rock AZUSAAs long it is a "warning" and not an error message. You might want a track duplicated it there is enough DMCA separation.

Maggie GiamalvoOne way to help ensure tracks aren't duplicated in a playlist would be to have the option of removing it from the available tracks list once it has been added. This option was available in the previous Live365 site and I used it every time I built a playlist. It's especially helpful if you have a big song library.

James JacobsI'm having the same problem. Right now, IF I suppect that I have duplicated a track, I have to go throuth the whole playlist to find out whether I did or not. Would be nice if it would tell me when I put a track in that I had already added that track.

James JacobsI used a different system for a long time and when I downloaded my playlist, it had a link that said "delete duplicate tracks". If there were 2 tracks alike, it would delete one of them. It also had a "sort" link where you could sort the playlist according to the title, artist, etc.
You could go down the list and find duplicates that way also. They would be grouped together. On the AutoDJ playlist, if you have a couple of thousand songs, it is almost impossible to find a duplicate.
Also, you can't just download the list of songs into the AutoDJ playlist, you download the songs, then you have to go through the songs and select the ones you want to keep. Making a playlist takes a long time. I just download the songs I want to keep so I have to select all the songs. I can only download 100 songs at a time and select 30 at a time.
Maybe there is an easier way to do this but I don't know what it is.
