Search for duplicate titles

Post by mesol »

Hello

I am using mm to build playlist for parties. I would like to check if a certain track title is already in the playlist, BEFORE adding it to playlist and display the AlbumArtist when the title is already in the list.

I have build a nice scrip for mm4 but I would like to switch to mm5. Any help is welcomed.

Hi,
For start you can always check if track is in Playlist using right click -> Find more from same -> Playlists.

Briefly checked and have not found anyone picking this challenge.

If you give us starting point of what you tried, someone will surely step in and help.
Best regards,

It sounds like your script in MM4 could check for duplicates and show the AlbumArtist for any title already present in a playlist. In MM5, you can leverage the MediaMonkey JS API, which should allow you to search for duplicates before adding a track.

Hi there!
I think in MediaMonkey 5 (MM5), you can script a function that checks if a track title already exists in a playlist before adding it. If a duplicate is found, the script can display the AlbumArtist, helping you avoid repeating tracks while building playlists for your parties.
