Music during library browsing issue

Here is how I get music while browsing:

 

On the roku this is easy. It can be done all from the roku. You choose your music library and pick an album. A list of song appears and press ok on the roku remote to play the song. Now press * and on the menu that pops up choose "Go To Now Playing". On the now playing screen choose "more..." and on the screen that pops up, choose shuffle on, and perhaps loop on as well, then choose back. Now in the now playing screen simply click "next song" to start the shuffling. You will notice you did this correctly it will immediately move you back a screen. The pointer is no longer on the song playing. Press back enough then, to get to the main screen roku view you get when mediabrowser opens. Ths song will stop playing. This is normal. Now press * and choose "play" the song plays, except while browsing now, every screen the music keeps playing. Of course for this to work turn theme music off. It will automatically move to the next track when playing. To move to next or previous track during a song, you must invoke the * pop up window because you are browsing with the navigation pad. You can also use the "now playing" box at the bottom of the main mediabrowser menu to do it. This does not affect playing other media, when other media starts the music appropriately stops.

 

OK, now when the library is playing music in the background, and I browse my "books" section I can get to the detail screen and going back it crashes me back to the Mediabrowser login screen. Its still playing the music and making me log in. Odd. But after choose the user avatar to login this crashes the Mediabrowser app completely back to the roku mychannels menu.

 

I'm not sure if this music during browsing is a supported feature really. Is it? It appears to be just hidden easter egg style. Just pointing it out to others and see if they have same issues.
