A system and method for reducing the multiple listing of a media item in a playlist are disclosed. When a media item recommendation is received from a recommender, a playlist may be reviewed to determine whether there is a current listing of the media item in the playlist. If there is a current listing, a resultant listing may be provided. If the current listing is based on a recommendation from the recommender, the media item recommendation may be disregarded. In such case, the resultant listing comprises the current listing. Alternatively, the resultant listing may be provided such that the information in the received media item replaces the information in the current listing in the playlist to avoid multiple listings. Or, the resultant listing may comprise information contained in the media item recommendation merged with information in the current listing. In such case, information regarding both the received media item and the currently listing may be preserved while avoiding multiple listings of the media item in the playlist. Further, providing the resultant listing may comprise removing all information in the current listing if the media item is removed from the playlist. In this manner, the cluttering of the playlist with multiple listings of the media item and redundant information associated with the media item may be avoided.
