Dropbox StaffHey Brian Battles, have you recently started seeing this behavior, or has it always been the case when playing audio files on the Dropbox app?
It's always been this way as long as I've had a Dropbox account (2 or 3 years).
I do a weekly radio show on WINY and I record an aircheck of the show every Sunday, and then when I'm driving around during the week I listen to it in the car to critique the show. If I play it from the built-in audio player in the app it stops playing as soon as I get a notification from another app, or if I attempt to fold the phone shut...it especially drives me nuts if I happen to inadvertently touch or move the phone and it "thinks" I minimized the Dropbox app or opened some other app. The it won't even resume where it left off, I have to start the download and playback from scratch at the beginning.
I'm a developer myself, and I shouldn't think this would be hard to fix.
