How to keep streaming music while changing pages (e.g. IHeartRadio, 8Tracks)

How do IHeartRadio and 8Tracks keep the music playing without pause even when you go to a different url without any Pause?

My initial thought was that they would use something like Ajax to load content - but the fact that the browser favicon reloads makes me think it may be something else.

There are questions like this one that ask how is it possible to do so at all - but my question is how do established sites like IHeartRadio.com and 8Tracks.com do this?

If this question is not within StackOverflows scope, please let me know and I will remove it.

They are using ajax obviously.

8Tracks

Screen shot shows a browser loading 8Tracks's About us page. See initiator column (red mark) which is a javascript/xhr which means ajax.

To trigger the default browser is loading event: See: How to have AJAX trigger the browser's loading indicator
