Apple music has this feature to prevent adding songs to your playlist multiple times accidentally, and it seems like cider is missing this (i'm loving this app btw)
#Add a 'this song is already in your playlist' message

Apple currently doesn't provide us with a way to quickly search for a song in a playlist, so detecting existing tracks in a large playlist (for example 1000 songs) just to add 1 song is very inefficient.

It’s not inefficient it’s just the cost of the functionality. If the playlist does have 1000+ songs this would be even more helpful. The computer takes .5 seconds to check that and you’d take 3 minutes of scrolling

No ,it's the Apple Music API limitation, would take 1-2 minutes instead

You're overestimating how quickly Apple's API would be able to respond to requests for that. Searching for a song in a larger playlist would take quite longer than that .5 seconds as they don't have a (publicly accessable anyways) API call that provides that info on the fly.
