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

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:

You can upvote ideas here by for Premium by clicking on the ❤️icon next to the title of the feature request. 

Thanks so much for posting on the community! 🎼

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!

Hi, @Oba. 👋

I completely understand where you're coming from and I would enjoy this functionality as well. In the meantime, feel free to upvote this existing idea: Prevent duplicate songs on playlists

Hope to see you around the community space more often. 🎧
