Pandora web stops playing in the middle of any song if not in station mode

About a week ago, I started experiencing this behavior: when I play any song or album that is not in station mode, Pandora seems to stop outputting sound to my devices. I see that the song keeps "playing" in the web UI, and the connection looks stable, but there is no sound. This happens in both active and inactive browser tabs. I tried clearing the storage and cookies, removing extensions, and listening in a clean new browser - same result. The time when this occurs after the song starts differs, ranging from 30 seconds to 3 minutes.
When I play in station mode, everything works great. I have not seen this problem at all.
