To be honest I thought hyping the Beatles landing on iTunes was not really a big deal—though it looks like the sales would suggest otherwise. In the iTunes top twenty there’s eight Beatles albums. Just like Wired suggested I was hopping that Apple was going to provide a streaming music service or finally release an overhaul of iTunes. Neither thing happened.
Last night as I was cleaning up my Dropbox and quickly tweeted about wishing that I could stream music from my folders in there to my iPhone. After all I can view PDFs & PPTs. Within minutes some I knew mentioned something about their app so I started diving in to my folders via the Dropbox app. Sure enough I could actually play and listen to music on my iPhone from my Dropbox.
While it frees my devices up from trying to sync my iPhone up with both my home and work MBP’s there’s still some issues. The biggest problem is that it doesn’t play music files one after another. Once the track is finshed it doesn’t play the next. Still it’s a nice runaround to stream music from the cloud. While I don’t have a ton of music if anyone wants to set up a private community shared music folder just send me an email.
