When you switch apps or lock the phone, the audio stops playing.
You need to download another media player, and import it there, really not user-friendly.
Any chance us Android users could have this in the future?

Dropbox is used for private audio/music files, especially used by musicians/artists/producers to share between them during the creation process.
Having to export the audio to a third-party app to continue listening is risky for us. (leaking, privacy, etc). Thanks for taking it into account.
I don't understand why can't we play audio in the background on Android. Hopefully this feature will be added soon. iOS has it, so should Droid.
