Why doesn't the new PJ iOS app play music in the background?

Dear @PearlJam while can’t your app stream PJ radio when in the background? It requires iOS 6 so it really should be able to do that. Besides that I really like the app.
I’ve seen Pearl Jam 25 times, Eddie Vedder 9 times, and Brad once.

    I found that the lighter and candle allow you to keep PJ radio streaming...sort of like a backlight. Without using the lighter, PJ radio plays for a few minutes then shuts down. The lighter and candle prevents PJ radio from shutting down, you can stream all day....which is cool if your'e plugged in and listening at work as I am now.

    Yes. Still only plays the PJ radio stream if it is in the foreground.

    I'm sure they will fix that. There are always bugs the first go around with these things.
    Download the unofficial <a href="http://bit.ly/PJStatTracker">Pearl Jam Stat Tracker</a> app for iPhone/iPad. It's <em>FREE.</em>

    PM me with any comments or suggestions for the app - or weigh in <a href="http://forums.pearljam.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=167611
