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.

This is a terrible response.
People, many, are using dropbox to listen to music. It's a far better solution that iTunes. This dismissive response shows a lack of fundamental marketing intelligence.
- Your customers want playlists and have been asking for years.
- They ARE using your app to listen to music. You can pretend or insist they are not, but they are.
(My primary reason for getting a paid account was that my LARGE music files made me grow beyond the basic account size. Had I not used you for music and audio I'd still be a free user.) - There are other (bad) solutions on the web to create playlists for dropbox because you have refused to. http://www.online-playlist.com
Why not embrace your customer feedback and make ANY solution to handle this.
It could be as simple as allowing users to make a text file with a specific extension that listed the files names they want in a list.
Or if you are feeling fancy, add an option under the multiple file select menu that said: "Play all" and supported a swipe right and left while playing to skip forward and back.
My point is STOP TELLING PEOPLE THEY DON"T WANT WHAT THEY WANT and please LISTEN TO YOUR CUSTOMERS.
Thanks,
