Hi @IllOcean,

 

Welcome to the Community!

 

If you're using a free account to stream music from your Chromebook or the Web player you'll only be able to listen to albums/playlists in shuffle mode, because the Chromecast acts as a separate device, which checks whether you have a free or Premium account (Like a mobile phone) and opens the link to the track you're trying to play rather than simply copying the playback from your Chromebook.

 

Hope this clears things up. Don't hesitate to reach out again if you have more questions.
