Spotify's got long play mixes.

I learned via my eMusic days, that a lot of club music albums also had their tracks mixed by a DJ into one continuous track.  The trick therefore, if you didn't want to waste your credits on all those individual tracks, you'd just download that single mix with all the songs in it, for basically one credit.

This ends up to be the case - where these long mixes are included in an album - on Spotify.  But here's the bonus on the free version of Spotify: it'll be a very long time (over an hour in many cases) where you won't hit any ads.

So how do you find these long mixes?  Search for: "continuous".  And if you click through on some of the well known mixers, you'll eventually find yourself with well over 70 mixed titles to choose from.
