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.

The Dropbox app is not designed to be a fully-featured media player, so if you're playing items from a folder of audio files, it will not progress automatically to the next file.
I have the paid version of MediaMonkey on my Windows system and it reads from Dropbox as if they are on my computer and works great. But on my iMac it sorta works with itunes and i finally got the made a duplicate in itues setting turned off. But really hoping there is a solution for Mac. I updated my IOS to the latest update and utterly hate the new version of itunes and so wish there was something else i could be using on Mac.
I may have just found a solution that works for me. Just hunted the app store and downloaded a simple free version of Music Player lite. There is a paid version but i am able to click and drag and make a temporary playlist and then just hit the delete button to get rid of them and was still able to make a file name change while it was playing. Simple but when i need to play a few songs or hear something this may just cover my needs. Not sure what else it can do with the paid version but this was all i was wanting, to have a simple playlist when needed, don't want to save them just have more flexibility.
How do you make MediaMonkey read media files from Dropbox? (I never heard of MediaMonkey)
