                                               client_secret="YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET",
                                               redirect_uri="YOUR_REDIRECT_URI",
                                               scope="playlist-modify-public"))

playlist_id = "YOUR_PLAYLIST_ID"
results = sp.playlist_tracks(playlist_id)
tracks = results['items']

track_ids = []
duplicates = []

for item in tracks:
    track = item['track']
    track_id = track['id']
    if track_id in track_ids:
        duplicates.append(track_id)
    else:
