Well, now, if you’re like me and have been usin’ Spotify for a while, you might notice somethin’ real annoyin’—duplicates! You know, when the same song shows up more than once in your playlists or your library. It’s a real bother, I tell ya! But don’t worry, it ain’t hard to get rid of ‘em. Let me tell you how to do it, nice and easy.
First off, Spotify’s got a built-in feature that can help you clear up them duplicates, so you don’t even need to go download no extra apps or nothin’. You just gotta follow a few simple steps, and you’ll be good to go.
Step 1: Open up the Spotify app
Now, you gotta first open up that Spotify app, whether it’s on your phone or your computer. It don’t matter, but I’m talkin’ about the regular app, not that web player thing, alright?
Step 2: Go to Your Library
Once you’ve got Spotify open, head on over to your library. That’s where all your saved songs, albums, and playlists are stored. You can find it by tappin’ on the “Your Library” tab, usually on the bottom of the screen if you’re usin’ a phone, or on the left if you’re on a computer.
Step 3: Look for duplicates
Now, you might not see the duplicates right away, but they’re in there, I promise you that! You just gotta scroll through your songs or playlists, and you’ll spot ‘em. Sometimes, you might see the same song listed twice or more, and that’s when you know it’s time to get rid of ‘em.
Step 4: Manually remove the duplicates
Once you find those pesky duplicates, you just need to tap on the three dots next to the song (you know, the little menu button). Then, all you gotta do is hit “Remove from Your Library” or “Remove from Playlist.” It’s that simple! Do that for each duplicate, and before you know it, your library’ll be nice and clean.
Step 5: Use a third-party tool (if needed)
If you don’t feel like doin’ all that manually, or if you just got a heap of duplicates you can’t find, there’s a tool called “Duplicate Song Finder.” It’s a third-party app that’ll scan your Spotify account and find all them duplicate songs for you. Once it’s done, you can delete ‘em all at once. It’s a bit easier, but you gotta download it first. You can find it online, but be careful where you get it from, alright?
Step 6: Using a desktop (for real tech folks)
Now, if you’re on a desktop computer, there’s a trick you can use to select all your songs at once. First, click on a song, then hold down the Shift key and scroll all the way down to the last song in your library. Once you’ve got them all selected, you can delete ‘em in one go. Just click the delete button, and Spotify will ask you if you’re sure you want to get rid of all them songs. Say yes, and they’re gone!
Step 7: Using Spotify’s On Repeat playlist
If you got that “On Repeat” playlist, well, sometimes it can get crowded with songs you don’t wanna hear no more. Unfortunately, you can’t delete songs from it directly, but you can hide ‘em. Tap on the three dots next to the song and hit “Hide this song.” It’ll stop playin’ it, but it won’t disappear completely from your library.
That’s all there is to it! Whether you’re doin’ it by hand or usin’ a tool, getting rid of duplicates in Spotify don’t have to be a big ol’ hassle. Just follow these steps, and your music’ll be organized in no time. Happy listening!
