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.
I don't know if this is what everyone else is looking for, but.... I've been searching for an iOS player that could basically import my WinAmp MP3 music library stored in a Dropbox folder, and scan MP3 tags as well (so music can be sorted into genres, albums, etc).
Every app I've tried -- dozens -- will generally let you download or otherwise import your Dropbox MP3 files, but it dumps them all in one big folder sorted alphabetically by title (filename). That's totally not helpful.
FINALLY found one that correctly scans all the MP3 tags and sorts correctly into a library: CloudBeats for iOS (thanks to a previous poster in this thread). It autoplays the next song, too. Hope this helps someone.
I use Cloudbeat for my iPhone it plays my Dropbox folders and in the car also via car play.
Not sure if it's helpful but I wrote a free online tool that allows you to browse your Dropbox and play, skip, shuffle, repeat, view album art etc: https://asti.ga/dropbox-music-player
No install necessary!
Let me know how it can be improved.
