How to Prevent Adding Duplicate Songs to Playlist

Is there a way to prevent Apple Music from letting me add duplicate songs to a playlist I created?


For example:

I create a Chill Songs Playlist.

Then I start listening to Chill songs and when ever I like one I add it to my Chill Songs Playlist.


After adding many songs I can´t keep track which ones I have already add and seem to add the same song again.


I would like Apple Music to let me know that particular song is already in the playlist.

Ipad, iphone, ATV, iOS 4

Just adding another voice to this. I'm also in the process of moving from Spotify to Apple Music and have been missing this feature a LOT.


I have several playlists with hundreds of songs and not having this feature makes the transfer process annoying if I get interrupted in the middle of things. Not to mention I like to continue to add to these, so while I am careful I am certainly not perfect and having duplicates in lists is just an annoyance.


Love the feature in Spotify and it seems like something Apple should be able to add pretty easily .. I'm pretty shocked that it's not already there to be honest.


Add my +1 to the requests for this feature please 🙂
