Could we please have a fix to Mp3tag's omission of repeats in playlists? If I load a playlist with the same track twice, Mp3tag just silently drops the second. I have many playlists containing the same silent spacer track at various points, and because Mp3tag leaves out all but the first, the prog is unusable for work on these lists.

Thanks.

OK, I'll stop asking! 😉

But please consider adding an alert to the user when a file is omitted. It is really not good to have this unsafe behaviour wherein loading and saving a playlist silently loses user data.

Or just a completion message on the status bar:

File(s) loaded #, duplicates skipped #, unloadable #.
