What is the best way to utilize Dropbox when listening to music?
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.
For those that are still interested, I found an iPhone app that I'm using to listen to music with dropbox.
I tried a bunch of them and they were all fairly poor and then I found one that was not bad. It's called MusiCloud
It does everything that I had wished dropbox would do. It lets you make playlists, jump to the previous and next song, store a selection of songs locally so you're not killing your bandwidth. It even attempts to match up your songs with album art from online. It has not ever gotten the correct art for my albums but I almost find it extremely endearing the completely wrong selections that it makes.
Is it perfect, no. Is it free, yes, but the free version had a lot of intrusive ads that irritated me so I paid the 1.99 for the Pro version.
I have no connection to this piece of software and I get no benefit from this post. I simply want to say that there is a solution that will let you listen to music from dropbox and gives you exactly the sort of functionality that dropbox should be providing its users by default.
I use this app as well however the exporting of files from DB to Music Cloud is a little tedious. It would be so much better if DB would allow us to play music in our folders with the next file playing automatically after one file ends.
