Long Spotify playlists of well-known songs?
April 6, 2018 1:02 PM Subscribe
I follow a Spotify playlist titled "Cleaning The House" which has over 28 hours of familiar songs. Are there others like it?
I'm one of those boring people who would rather sing along loudly and off-key to songs she knows rather than wade through curated playlists of new-to-me music. I have a favorite Spotify playlist that I found a while back called "Cleaning The House." It has several hundred well-known songs, ranging from 1950s hits to now, mostly pop, rock and r&b hits. I rarely come across a song with which I'm unfamiliar.
The closest I've come to finding similar playlists are the decades-specific ones, but they don't quite scratch the same itch. Or I'll come across some that would work if they had hundreds and hundreds more songs.
1. Are there other LONG Spotify playlists like this? Bonus points for play time included. This "Cleaning The House" clocks in at 28 hrs 37 min.
2. How do I "import" this playlist somehow and edit/add to it to make it my own?

I can answer #2 (I've done this myself). You create a new playlist, then select all on their playlist and drag to yours. You may need to do this in the desktop app, the web player is missing some functionality.
There's also a "Time Capsule" playlist that might be up your alley.

Click into the playlist (ie highlight a song), command+A to select all, right click, Add to Playlist, New Playlist.
