Tracks meant to be played together are split up

Love how easy you can navigate in pandora. What I don't understand stand is on songs that go right into another song that it doesn't play the next song, example we will rock you then we are the champions. Heartbreaker then living loving maid, these are classics that I'm sure the  terrestrial radio is still playing both.I  was just wondering? Could someone please let me know. Thank you.

@Jimly I definitely hear where you are coming from, but we're caught in a complicated set of licensing rules that were designed for the world of pop songs and ignore the realities of how music is presented by the record labels. One rule prevents us from playing a number of consecutive tracks from the same album.

Unfortunately, many labels choose to divide intros (and sometimes longer songs) into separate tracks. We are required to treat each track as a separate "song". The result is as you describe. We're torn between offering portions of fine performances of outstanding music and not offering those works at all.

That being said, you may consider upgrading to Pandora Premium, which allows you to search and play full albums on-demand.

Hope this helps!
