http://www.pandora.com is a great free streaming music site.  Unfortunately, if
you switch to a new tab or minimize the window to the dock, it will not move on
to the next song unless you bring the Safari window to the front.  Works with
no problems in Firefox and Camino on OS X.

>From the Pandora FAQ:

Q: Why does Pandora stop playing when I minimize to the Dock (OS X)?

Unfortunately, that is a known issue with Safari. Flash applications like
Pandora are halted by Safari when the browser is not in use. All you can do for
now is avoid minimizing to the dock when listening with that browser.

However, If you're willing to use alternate OS X browsers for Pandora, like
Firefox or Camino, they work fine with Pandora, even while its in the dock.
