I think this should at least be optional. Otherwise it would prevent users from \
compiling a playlist that contains some tracks more than once on purpose.  Actually I \
don't really see your problem. I have a file all.tronplaylist which is automatically \
created to contain all mp3s in /mnt/mp3. To get the updated version in Noatun, all I \
need to do is click open in Tron and select that playlist. On load, the list will \
                replace what is currently loaded, so that's definately no cause for \
                duplicates.
