Prevent Multiple Instances of Playlist Contents

*** Luke Scott - [email protected]

This one is more of a suggested discussion topic rather than a feature to
add - should ZINF allow multiple instances of a song to be put into a
playlist?

If ZINF prevented duplicates from being added, that would allow a user to
say "I don't remember if I added this song yet, so I'll just add it again".
This would be especially helpful with very long playlists, where it is
somewhat difficult to search through a playlist every time a user wants to
check if a song has been added yet.

Also, it prevents the following situation: A user...
-adds Kid A to his/her playlist
-Adds the "Study" playlist contents to his/her playlist, which also contains
Kid A.
-loads the playlist into the player contents
-sorts the player contents by artist-album-track

Now, there will be two copies of each track on Kid A, with each one playing
twice in a row before going to the next one. This is VERY frustrating when
you just want to hear an album in order!
