[Feature Request]: Youtube-like "Save to Playlist"

Open trin-o opened this issue 9 months ago • 5 comments

Preflight Checklist

  • [x] I use the latest version of YouTube Music (Application).
  • [x] I have searched the issue tracker for a feature request that matches the one I want to file, without success.

Problem Description

Right now, managing playlists in YTMusic is somehow worse than YT. In YT, if you open the "Save to playlist", you get a checklist showing you which playlists a video has been added to, allowing you to save to multiple playlists at once and even remove it from playlists it's already in. Image

In YTMusic you can only add to a single playlist, then the menu closes. If you try the "Save to Playlist" button again, it says the song is already on the playlist, asking if you wanna add it again, assuming you wanna add it to the same playlist you just did. Image

Proposed Solution

Some way to bring back the checklist would be nice. I don't know if it's possible, but it being on YT makes me wonder. Image

Alternatives Considered

Honestly, someway to avoid the "This track is already in the playlist" when using the "Save to Playlist" button would be enough at this point.

I have the same issue. It's pretty annoying to have to wait a couple hours to add the song to a second playlist.

I can't replicate this. YTMusic allows me to add the same song to the same playlist multiple times, it even has an "are you sure" popup

The problem is adding a song to two different playlists. That you get the "are you sure" popup is the problem condition. I want to pick another playlist to add this same song to.

It also allows me to add to a different playlist without saying that it is already in a playlist, which is why I also tested if I can add it to the same playlist

So why want to remove the 'it is already in the playlist' pop up? i find that useful and if it says that means it is already there so why you want to add it anyways? it would add the song twice . But I find the multiple playlist selection feature useful.
