Greetings all,
Internet Explorer is not able to stream in Connected Standby. There are apps that can stream while the Surface is in Connected Standby (Xbox Music).
How do I get my music (like Pandora) to keep playing after the Surface shuts the screen off while on battery?

I want to listen to music on my Surface but not have to have the screen on (to save battery life). Is the only way to keep the music app running to keep the Surface awake? Or if I have Pandora going in the background and I flip to another app it stops the sound. How do I keep it going?
Thanks

However, in play store, you can download this app called "PLUG RADIO" and its a 3rd party app made for Pandora user. This app is awesome and UI friendly. With this app you can still listen to Pandora after pressing power button. TRUST ME this app is awesome.

2015-01-29T23:39:05+00:00 I like to play Pandora while I do my homework. But my screen turns off, the music stops as well. I don't use an app, I play it online. Is there anyway I could keep the music from stopping?
