>Is there a way to hear it in the background? Every time I switch tabs, it stops playing. Also, it sometimes mixes up songs from different periods (1958+1997)

A quick cheat for sites that stop "running" when switching tabs is to open them in a new window of their own, with no other tabs open in it.

You can then return to your "main" browsing window and get back to whatever you were working on previously.

Thank you!

some sides (TED for example) still screw you over if you do that (the quality drops to beyond worthless in TEDs case).

haven't visited that side in about 2 years now, and the main reason why i stopped going there was that i couldn't activate a stream on my second monitor while doing something else on my primary.

I opened it side-by-side with my other tabs (using win + left arrow, win + right arrorw) after pulling the tab out. That way I can continue browsing without actually putting the other tab in the background.

It is a silly restriction!

edit: mootothemax's suggestion is even better, I didn't realize the tab can go in the background after being split out.

Yeah, this is driving me insane.

Leave it running in a separate window.
