    Hey raech, welcome to our community! 

    I’m not able to recommend specific third-party apps, but I can give you some pointers. 

    It sounds like your device doesn’t have the capability to open/play the file you’ve downloaded. So, you need to see what king of file it is, and then look for an app that can handle it. 
     
    If you are uploading music files to your Dropbox, you can open/preview/play them on our website only if they are listed on this page. In short, .aac .m4a .mp3 .oga and .wav files are compatible on our site. 

    I hope this helps. 
    Cheers!
