Pros and cons of BoxyTunes - audio, music, and podcast player for Dropbox app for iPhone and iPad

BoxyTunes - audio, music, and podcast player for Dropbox app good for

I have tested something like 10 apps, what I want is to download music files from dropbox, and be able to listen offline and rearrange playlist as I want. This is the handiest Ive tested!
Love it! Havent tried other similar apps but this does exactly what I want it to: play my dropbox music in the background.
使い心地は気に入ってますが、日本語が文字化けします。 I am still having issue with Japanese character set.
very convenient to listen to mp3s on the dropbox. Please add "30 sec skip"button. its more convenient to recorded radios.

Some bad moments

This app simply downloads the selected files from your DropBox and adds them to a single playlist. Sorry, but thats not exactly rocket science, its not music in the cloud, more like "music downloaded from your cloud". GOOD: - slick interface, feels good - plays music in background! - fast browsing through my Dropbox - instant rewind BAD: - no streaming - no sorting of playlist - no multiple playlists Real streaming with Songbox, but super crappy parsing of your Dropbox with no control over what files stay in your playlist… Until now: now Dropbox-based music streaming with your iPhone :/
no streaming display turns off while playing music cant sort tracks in playlist no multible playlists design of the UI can be better hoping for updates...
It seems the app shows the MP3tag after downloading the files, and if they are in multibyte characters, they turn into garbage strings. I hope it will be fixed soon, when other functions work perfectly, so far. I can give you the code that can handle them, if you want.
Ive 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!
Great idea, great execution. Easy to use and clean interface.
Nice to have access to all my music. Easy to use and works great. Requested features for future updates: ability to use my existing iTunes playlists; ability to add a whole album or artist to a playlist without having to select each song individually
