I don't really know a way to succintly state my question so I may ramble a bit.

Basically, I have a 400+ song, 24+ hour playlist I made for a week-long roadtrip, thinking that since we had less than 24 hours of driving to do we wouldn't hear any songs repeated. However, even if I never close spotify explicitly, the app restarts after awhile, I lose my place in the list (whether on shuffle or not) and I have to restart the shuffle. And then since spotify's shuffle isn't great, I hear the same few songs for the whole road trip instead of actually getting anything out of the time I put in to making this list.

Is there any way around this? A way to hold my place in the playlist or keep the spotify app from restarting itself when idle?
