I am currently using the trial of Xbox Music Pass on Windows 8 and discovered to following problem:

A band's album has one or more songs that are not available to be played via Xbox music pass but for purchase on the Xbox Music store.

When I choose the option "Play album" it plays the songs available for Xbox music pass streaming completely and for the songs only available for purchase just the preview of 30 seconds.

Is there an option to deactivate this by a setting that I just not found or is it currently simply not possible?
