Add remove song from playlist option to bottom sheet menu
Description
An option to remove a song from a playlist, possibly in the meatball menu of the song in the playlist, or by clicking it again in the "add to playlist" menu.
Problem solved
I accidentally added a song to the playlist twice. I trid to fix it by un-checking the song in the "add to playlist" menu. It is now in the playlist five times.
Other implementations
my only other experience is with spotify. It has a second "remove from playlist" menu.
Benefit
I can fix my mistakes without discarding the whole playlist and starting over.
Duplicates

- [X] I have checked that this feature is not implemented in the lastest version.

You can remove songs by pressing the edit button in the playlist view and then swiping the song you want deleted away. Albeit, since this is the 4th time that someone has requested this, I'm just going to add an option to the menu to reduce confusion.
In the current interface of the playlist, there is no indication of how to delete a song after pressing the edit button and swiping, which may lead to some users, including myself, being unable to locate the option to remove songs from the playlist. It is recommended that a removal button be added next to each song in the playlist to facilitate this process.
Additionally, I'd like to inquire whether the ability to add the same song multiple times to a single playlist is a bug in the software. This can result in duplication of certain tracks within the same playlist if I am unsure whether they have already been added. I would greatly appreciate it if the software could verify whether a song is already in the playlist before it is added. Thank you for your efforts, an excellent software!

FWIW, if you go to add a song to a playlist the playlist preview will have a "tick" on it to show that the song is already in there.

Thank you for your response. I have conducted an experiment with adding individual songs and noted this feature.
However, I typically select and add multiple songs or entire albums to a playlist simultaneously. When some of these songs are already in the playlist and others are not, the playlist icon does not show the "tick", making it difficult for me to discern which songs have already been added. This situation often leads to repeated tracks in my playlist, which is frustrating. Therefore, I am in need of a feature that would prevent duplicate songs from being added to the playlist. I hope this functionality can be implemented.

Yeah, you can add duplicate songs to a playlist. This is intentional design since perhaps some people want to deliberately add duplicates to increase the chance it shows up in shuffles.
I do want to add playlist deduplication eventually with #451.

I don't know how to best indicate "All songs are already in this playlist" vs. "Some songs are already in this playlist" A different type of checkmark would not be clear enough. Any ideas, perhaps @Chzy2018?

I propose implementing a secondary confirmation feature when songs are added to a playlist. If the song already exists in the playlist, a prompt could appear stating, "The following songs are already in the playlist. Would you like to add them again?" with options to "Add all songs" or "Add only those songs not currently in the playlist." If all the selected songs are new to the playlist, they could be added without any prompt. Is such a feature implementation feasible? @OxygenCobalt
That works, but the issue lies in that it's a very wordy thing to ask/answer, so I would have to think more about how to clearly indicate it.

this requires you to scroll all the way up to the edit button and then back down to where the song was, it is highly unpractical with larger playlists. another way of doing it could be the "undo" route where you don't require the edit button first and instead offer an undo option (that appears where the song was in the list) for accidental swipes.
