I regularly check in which playlists a track is listed.
I always see $Collection and $Hash
I don't see the added value of the confirmation that the track is in the collection but what is the $hash playlist anyway?
Hi @EddieAllFlow, thanks for bringing this up - I had to investigate this myself, I have seen this oftentimes but never spent another thought on it. So this is the explanation I received from one of our devs:
"This is an internal detail of the browser leaking out into user land. The “#HASH” playlist is part of every collection to “hash” results from artists, etc."
Hence, you can simply ignore it.
Thanks for the clarification!
I would request to close the leak! ;-)
Bothe the $Collection and $Hash playlists are not of any use so it can be regarded as a bug!
Keep up the good work!
I agree, it could be regarded as a bug or at least as unintended behavior. Perhaps our devs will address this now that I flagged the issue. After all, it's strictly cosmetical in a not-so-common use case, so it might not get the highest priority - but that's just a guess.
I agree that it is cosmetical, but for me the use case is very common though.
I use checking the playlists all the time when I am replacing old tracks with better quality replacements and want to have the new ones in the same playlists as the old file.
Thanks for flagging it anyway!
'not so common use case' of checking what playlist a track belongs to? ******?
