Listen to music via dropbox
I placed my music in dropbox. If I want to listen directly using dropbox, I can listen only to one song at a time I had to select an other song in a folder to listen again. Is there a possibility to ...

Did you ever solve this issue? With only playing one song at a time?
There is no solution for this in Dropbox because it's not a media player. Find a media player application that has Dropbox functionality built-in to it.

This is a terrible response.
People, many, are using dropbox to listen to music. It's a far better solution that iTunes. This dismissive response shows a lack of fundamental marketing intelligence.
- Your customers want playlists and have been asking for years.
- They ARE using your app to listen to music. You can pretend or insist they are not, but they are.
(My primary reason for getting a paid account was that my LARGE music files made me grow beyond the basic account size. Had I not used you for music and audio I'd still be a free user.) - There are other (bad) solutions on the web to create playlists for dropbox because you have refused to. http://www.online-playlist.com
Why not embrace your customer feedback and make ANY solution to handle this.
It could be as simple as allowing users to make a text file with a specific extension that listed the files names they want in a list.
Or if you are feeling fancy, add an option under the multiple file select menu that said: "Play all" and supported a swipe right and left while playing to skip forward and back.
My point is STOP TELLING PEOPLE THEY DON"T WANT WHAT THEY WANT and please LISTEN TO YOUR CUSTOMERS.
Thanks,

Is the music player going to become more usable at some point. I would just like to have a bar to slide forward to get to the end of the song when i am looking for a certain spot. Really hoping you update the music player. I love dropbox otherwise and am slowly cleaning up my various systems and getting all the music files in just one place online. Thank you. But updating the player so i am not stuck using itunes would be a blessing. Detest itunes and how controlling it is. I need to be able to easily change file titles and and have control of what folders they go into and this has been the perfect solution. A multi-functional player would make if perfect.
