How to Avoid Duplicate Songs In Google Music Playlists

[clemson77on]

Does anybody know how to avoid duplicates in Google Music playlists? Since signing up for All Access, I've been adding tons of songs. It's real easy to add songs after you've already added them before.

Did you ever find a solution to this? Anyone? It's really annoying.

Bump... any news? I have playlists with dozens of songs duplicated up to 8 times!

Bump.

Hey guys, this is an old forum post, but I wrote a quick little python script that will delete duplicates from within each playlist.
Note that it only works if the songs are exact copies - ie. the same file, not just the same metadata.

Hope it helps someone!

Thanks for the script kennyszub, it works great.

Spotify warns me which is the only reason I am subscribed to that rather than Google. I'd rather just use Google as my uploaded music is on that server.

Could you please help me with how to use this?

Great, thanks for the script, seems to be working…

Can someone help me execute this script in the simplest way possible? No idea about Python.

Need help too.

I also wrote a script with some hints how to install and run the script: valentinkraft.de/?p=277
