• CONTROL! Play, pause, or skip tracks from your iPhone earbuds, Bluetooth headphones, or the iPhone lock screen.
• CUSTOMIZE! Download, rearrange, and delete tracks to customize your playlist.
• MULTI-TASK! "Set it and forget it." BoxyTunes plays in the background while you use other iPhone apps.
• ANY WAY YOU WANT IT! BoxyTunes is a universal iPad/iPhone/iPod touch app, and it supports the iPhone 4's Retina display. Go ahead and rotate - BoxyTunes works in any orientation.
• FLEXIBILITY! BoxyTunes supports mp3, m4a, wav, aiff, mp4, caf, and aac files.
More features:
● Vari-speed scrubbing. Sliding horizontally seeks within the song and sliding vertically changes the scrubbing speed.
● "Quick rewind" button lets you jump back 30 seconds with just a click.
● Displays cover art, album, artist, and song title for mp3, m4a, and mp4 files.
● AirPlay compatible! In app controls for switching between Bluetooth and AirPlay devices (e.g. Apple TV) for sound output.
Pro Tip:
• Mac users: Create a symbolic link in Dropbox to your iTunes podcast directory. This will let you wirelessly get podcasts from Dropbox as your computer downloads them at home.
FAQ:
• Files stay on your device until deleted from your playlist (even if you restart the app or the phone). So once a transfer is complete, you can go ahead and use airplane mode.

BoxyTunes requires a FREE Dropbox account. A 2GB Dropbox account is FREE and you can even sign up from within the app. Or go to http://dropbox.com to learn more about Dropbox plans and pricing.
BoxyTunes supports mp3, m4a, wav, aiff, mp4, caf, and aac files. Note that support is limited to formats supported by iOS. For example, while wav files created by iTunes will play, wav files created by other programs may not work.

I've been looking for an app to allow me to access music on my dropbox and has background ability. At .99 this is a steal! No more iTunes synching for me!
Simply awsome

Ive used orb and many other streaming apps but you have to always leave your computer on ugh. This allows you to access the same features except you are useing your dropbox and can store it for later useage.
Works as advertised

I've drunk the Dropbox koolaid, and it's good to see more apps aimed at the Dropbox-koolaid-drinking market. Kudos! Feature request: I'd rather not be forced to add things to a playlist. If I get an odd hankering one evening to listen to, say, the Croatian National Anthem as sung by The Beatles, and queue up all 50 episodes of Mating Sounds Of The North American Fruitbat afterwards, I don't want to be forced to then go and delete them all from the playlist afterwards. I would like to be able to browse my Dropbox and go "there! I want to listen to THAT!"... only with local caching (think "airplane mode"). Still -- thanks for a great app that does exactly what it says it does!
Nice app

This is a nice app for listening to music stored in Dropbox. I had asked the developer to add native support for the iPad to take advantage of the bigger screen, and he did so in the latest update. Thx! Now just add support for multiple playlists and streaming and it will be perfect.
Does what it says, but primitive

Compared to other options, this is a very basic player..hoping the next update will the purchase useful.
nice work

Great app. It's just what I was looking for, and at a low cost. Works just fine for selecting songs from DropBox and creating playlists for my iPad.
Good app, BUT...

I'm using this app everyday:) Good but not perfect yet, requiring the following: 1. Add/remove/edit Multiple playlists (multiple playlist groups) 2. Searching bar (progress bar) while playing 3. Bulk addition/removal of a Dropbox folder as a whole 4. Option for playing MP4 as video rather than only audio (5). Dropbox sync for saved playlists (backup) These functions would make this app perfect.
Awesome!!!

Great app for what it does, but PLEASE add multiple playlists AND multilingual support like Russian!! In Dropbox, it appears great, but when I open in BoxyTunes, the title becomes messed up. Keeping my hopes up :)
