Add to playlist --> show which playlists it already appears in.

[selector.x]

I have a TON of playlists, for various organizational purposes.  I often play All Songs on shuffle and want to add a single song to different PLs at different times (example: newer PLs or I just want to make sure a song is in all the right PLs). 

I'll scroll through my long list of PLs and tick every one I want it in, just to be sure (sometimes 5+ PLs).  If it's already in the right ones, I just get the "Duplicates not added" message  (=some time and attention wasted). 

It would be so helpful to see an indicator (mark) next to each PL the song is already in.  So, like the toggle marks when you long press in order to add  to multiple PLs... but already populated.  

...Or even some other way to see which PLs a song is already assigned to??

Cheers!.  Loved this app for years...just something I've wished for a while. Organizing my eclectic 110gb (and growing) mobile audio library is a never-ending project.

Bump....  Understandably low-priority, but I can't be the only one 😉...  

As an example, YouTube does this... (obv. different implementation -- MMO vs user's local databases). 

Any input on feasibility?

Cheers

Well I learned something new today! I didn't know you could add the same song(s) into multiple playlists at once. 

But it would be adding multiple songs that would pose a problem for what you are suggesting: what if you were adding (for example) 10 songs into some playlists? Would this indicator flag you are suggesting highlight if just one of the songs was already present in a playlists, or only if all of the selected songs are present? It could get pretty messy.

I do recall that there was a Feature Request somewhat along these lines a year or so back, which was to use the Info/Tags screen to list any playlists of which the currently viewed song is a member.

It's fun to see how listening habits changes, I'm getting more into listening to tracks as in the past I preferred albums. So now I'm spending quite some time on curating playlists and I really miss a feature to show on which playlists a song is found.
It would be very handy on the add to playlist page with a check mark / text indicating that a song is already on a particular playlist. The text or check mark could be partial if some of the songs are already on a playlist.

I assume everyone has voted for the Feature Request for this info to be displayed via the Info/Tags screen?

This was actually one of a number of relatively low complexity requests that I highlighted a year or two back as candidates for simple and fast resolution - otherwise known as "low hanging fruit" jobs. That was before the voting system was created, but I still feel that knocking 10-15 really quick & easy items off the list would perhaps be more worthwhile from an end-user viewpoint than spending 6-12 months on a single more complex high-rated feature. Just my own $0.02 thought anyway.

Thanks! Now I have voted.

The vote is for adding containing Playlists to the Info/Tags screen, while my request was actually for a indicator on the "Add to Playlist" page. Guess both would be quite easy to implement, two low hanging fruits with one stone?

I was also first thinking about the Info page at first when I missed this feature the other day but later on realized that for me it would be more convenient to have it on the add to playlist page as that's where I mostly miss it.

More or less the same thing but depends on your work flow, the user stories would be something like:

• As a Poweramp user I would like to see on what Playlists my song is.
• As a Poweramp user I would like to see on which Playlist my song is when I'm about to add the song to a Playlist.

Answer to the first one is obviously the Info/Tags page, while the answer to the second one is the Add to Playlist page.

The idea seeing whether a song is in any given Playlist when using the 'Add' function wouldn't really work, as you can add multiple songs (or multiple albums, folders, etc) in one go. There would be no way to indicate which particular song of the many that you are adding is in which playlist(s) in the choice list.

Multiple solutions comes to mind:

• Don't implement it for multiple selections, do it just for single tracks
• Just display a solid check mark if all tracks are on the list or a hollow one if only part of the tracks are in a playlist.
• Do it as text and just do a "x/y in playlist"
