What allows music from an internet source to continue playing leaving IE

I just had a new Yoga Pro 2, Windows 8 and have a problem I did not before. I listen to music online (8tracks, Pandora, etc.) and with previous laptops:

1. I could minimize the browser and do something else with continuous music. When I go out IE to, say, the office, the music stops immediately.

2. If I was doing other things (cleaning, etc.) and had background music, the screen would dim, but the music would continue. With my new laptop, when it goes into sleep mode, the music stops.

Thanks for any help! I already looked in the power options and changed the options for multimedia in advanced with no improvement.

Metro applications not multitasking (only push cmds, to my knowledge). You probably use the metro of IE version.

Try using a desktop browser and play music there. You will see that even if you use the metro apps, music will play always.

To solve the problem of sleep, go to your settings powerplan, then set it to never sleep (you will still be able to sleep your computer, but your computer won't automatically). You can keep active stop auto-dim/screen.
