I think the feature you are asking for was just brought back to Roon with one of the most recent updates. In Settings>General, there should be a “Yes/No” toggle switch for “Show Playlists on Album Page”. Turn that on and it will show you which playlist a track belongs to.

Roon please never take this feature away, I love it!
I’d be super thrilled with Roon Labs if they made this feature available. It is on every other platform that exists today. Different versions of the same song can be added and should not trigger an alert. However, if the same song is added twice to the same playlist, a warning should appear “This song already exists in {%playlist}, are you sure you want to add it again?” Y/N

+1 please don’t add duplicates.
And by “duplicate” I mean a song that is already on the list.
What’s worse is that Roon allows a Library reference and a Non-Library reference to the exact same track/version of a Tidal or Qobuz track in a playlist. These references will look different (different play count, Fav icon) etc. but they are the exact same track!

Bump! Topic is returning like bumerang “How to remove duplicates from playlists?” and ability to prevent duplicates would be more than welcome.
Thanks

Yeah, let’s get this fixed. It’s a PITA to go through your playlists deleting dupes. It sure seems like basic functionality.

Everyone willing to have such feature added need to add their vote in the upper left corner of this topic.
So far there are only 3 votes. Not enough to bring attention of busy Roon developers I’m affraid

I think you’ll find that Roon are aware of the request, and have been for several years.
Roon feature request directed me here to add my support to the thread,
I too want the possibility to choose if I want to add duplicate tracks to my playlists. with a message prompting me to do so. ( like Apple Music and other library managers do. )
Also, if I was to delete an album from my library ( for whatever reason ) the Roon software should also ask me to remove it from my playlists, or just update the playlists by itself.
I would also like to mark tracks as inactive, ( unchecked in apple Music ) this way I can, when I’m tiered of hearing a track, just render it inactive for a while, everywhere in the library. this way the playlist would skip this inactive track and I remain happy.

This is a feature I would really appreciate as well !!
I know how I can select to show double files in Roon , but this is unpractical , can Roon not warn for double adding ? Like Spotify does in this way :
’ 'Already added ‘’ - This item is already in your playlist ‘’
Would be very user friendly to have as well in Roon!
Kind regards Sjoerd

Tidal handles this spectacularly well, if you try to add a group of songs to a playlist it will warn you and then allow you to add everything except the duplicates.
Having to add and then clean up duplicates later is so much more time consuming than just clicking a single button ahead of time. Especially when you are doing stuff like adding your queue (and queue history) to a playlist.

kind of a joke that Roon lacks the basic library-maintance functions like that.
I think Roon need like a library-maintance backend where you have the kind of functions of Musicbee to handle your music. the front-end could stay like that.

I believe that checking duplicate tracks in playlists is a very useful function; furthermore, the switch that allows you to highlight any duplicates does not seem to work well: I tried to add the same track twice, but it did not highlight it to me. Thank you.
