Occasionally we get duplicate songs in playlists. Spotify has a feature to stop you adding the exact same song but I don't think it works for different versions of the same song eg you can add the album version and another from the greatest hits.
We might also like to be able to set a limit on the number of songs you can add from a certain artist, or the number of songs you can add per hour.
the solution
We need to periodically get the playlist data, check it against our rules and then post angry messages to Slack if the rules have been broken.
optional extra
Allow users to set the playlist rules when they create the playlist. Perhaps have fields for "Limit to one song per artist" (Y/N) or "Maximum number of songs per user per hour"
