Good for filephiles & audiophiles

I'm a DJ of netaudio & creative commons music so I download and listen to gigs of new material every week. I'd been doing it on flashdrives before I switched to dropbox. I like this app better than the streaming options cause the sound quality is better. I'd give 5 star but there's things I'm missing: delete songs off phone & db (important when sifting), change file name on phone & db (also important, this is how I mark files for mixes), shuffle doesn't seem to shuffle all unplaye tracks before shuffling all again, doesn't scour my dropbox & download all tunes (have to manually click on each song I want a copy of). Dev has been responsive so hopefully next update!
worked perfectly as advertised

Some feature requests: option to automatically sync/download ALL Dropbox songs or individually select download tracks (already a feature), option to create more then one playlist. Please?
Works as advertised

Great music solution to bypass the nightmare that is iTunes. Easy to use and simple Dropbox integration. Win win.
Ugh

Play music but not by artist, etc. can not select a group of songs to play. It's one song at a time. More and more Dropbox is worthless to because all the apps that go with it are not good.
Great for audiobooks, but...

...not music. As others have stated, there's no playlist support. And it also doesn't pause playback when the headphones (or Bluetooth) are disconnected like many other audio apps do.
Lots of problems - try the free one first

Problems 1) Only "sees" about 2/3 of the songs. Not sure why but someone else mentioned that it can't play .mp4s 2) To get boxy tunes to see the song I have to start playing it on my PC from inside dropbox and then stop it, go to the next song, repeat. After that they will show up in my music folder. 3) After that, there's no "add all" option in boxy tunes. To add a song to the playlist (and there is only one playlist) you navigate to it and tap it, I then wait 11-12 seconds for the file to download (3mbps wifi connection). Then you repeat that, one by one, for however many dozens or hundreds of songs you have. 4) There's no delete from drop box option. You are stuck still managing your music from your computer not your device. 5) You can delete songs from the playlist but re-adding them requires the same 11-12 second each song process. If you still want to try it, there is a free iPhone version.
Misleading

I received a music zip file after supporting an artist from Kick Starter. The file indicated it had to be opened in Dropbox. After getting that app, the file down loaded but would not play. It then indicated needing a compatible music player app. So I researched and was lead to BoxyTunes app. I tried the free version and it did not play my new e-album. Stupidly, I paid for the upgraded BoxyTunes app and it DOES NOT WORK either.
