How can I tell if a song is already in my playlist?

pugmac — Tue, 04 Feb 2020 14:09:32 GMT

Does anyone have a trick how I can tell if a song is already in my playlist. I am using Chrome and I am Pandora Premium, on a Macbook.

When I go in a list,

I cannot sort by name to check that way
there is no search function to check
When I do Ctl - F it for some reason cannot find things unless it's on my current screen or close (I tested this with an artist I know is in many times and it will come back saying it found 1 or none).
Pandora does not tell you when you add it or warn you.
There is no master list of all Songs in all my Playlist
So, of course, there is no way to look at a song and see what playlist it's in.

So what does everyone else do? This to me should be a basic feature.

Note: I am looking for a current workaround and not putting this in a Feature request, those seem to go unheard.

Please help!

Hey, @pugmac. 👋

Thanks so much for your feedback about this.

Unfortunately, you can't view this information from your web browser or the desktop app.

When adding to a playlist from an iOS mobile device, there should be a pop up indicating that you're adding a duplicate track to the playlist.

In the meantime, I've upvoted a few existing ideas on the community that I'd personally like to see implemented for Premium. Although you're looking for a workaround, you may be interested in seeing these suggestions implemented as well:

What about Android?

When I click the link there is no heart or anything to vote on it?

This seems like basic functionality... I have been a long time Pandora Premium user and I am glad that iOS has this functionality. However, it doesn't help me when I have already added songs from the Web which i use Pandora on alot as well as iOS. Even the ability to filter would work... but a button to remove duplicates would be Pro. Please get this functionality ASAP!
