Global Library Cleanup (Cross-Playlist Duplicates)Β #28

Description

@DarksAces

πŸ“ Proposal

Currently, our delete_duplicates tool only scans a single playlist at a time. I'm thinking about whether we could create a "Global Scan" to find songs that are repeated across different playlists in a user's library.

❓ Questions & Feasibility

  • How would we handle the performance? Scanning all tracks in all playlists could take a while for users with 100+ playlists.
  • Should we just report the duplicates, or should we offer a way to remove them from specific lists?
  • Is there an API limit to how many track URIs we can compare in a single session?

✨ Potential Use Case

"I have 20 playlists and I'm sure I have 'Blinding Lights' in half of them. I want to find where it's repeated to clean up my library"
