Play music files/whole album from Dropbox

Hello, is there a way to play music files from Dropbox (via cell phone and WLAN)? I can only play one file at a time, but not an entire album. There is the Musicbox app, but it doesn't seem to work properly. Only a few pieces of music from an album or folder are synchronized to the cell phone. Thank you!

    There isnt a native way of doing this, no. 

    Its also worth remembering that if you are streaming it to your phone etc. it uses up your daily bandwidth limit. This may not be an issue if a paying member or you dont have links in use but if you do its worth considering (20gb/rolling 24 hours).
