Is there anyway I can stream music from dropbox and multitask at the same time?
If I set a song to stream from Dropbox and try to do something else with the tab the music stops?
Is there anyway round this?

With ES File Explorer !
setup your dropbox account, browse to the songs, do a multi selection, tap MENU then MUSIC and add it to the selection and choose ES video player to open it when asked.
when the music starts playing, tap HOME and do whatever you want !

I use the '3' music player and have frozen the stock player. However, if I click on a mp3/4a file, it doesn't know what to do with it. I can't find a way to associate mp3/4a files with the 3 music player, I had to unfreeze the stock player, so it became visible with apps file associations, anyone know how to fix this. On GB 2.3.5

Did you clear the stock music player's launch by default setting?
Hi, yes, cleared defaults for stock player and 3 player, when I click on an mp3 file, I get asked to choose default action, I can choose stock player, but can't choose 3 player

What file explorer do you use? Many of them (Total Commander, ES file explorer, Root Explorer, etc.) will allow you to set a particular file extension to open with a particular app.
I'm using root explorer, if I choose the general tab, there are no apps available, the 3 player doesn't appear in the list of apps! I three problem is down to the 3 player. I'll install another player and see what happens

Ok so, I got it so I can open my personal mp3 folder on win7 in ES File Explorer, its all there, as I like it in folders, now if I could just take those folders and dump them in a playlist of a good mp3 player. So far I have been able to open single files in PlayerPro but not PowerAmp. If I hold down on an album folder it will cue that whole folder in ES Media player but not PlayerPro. Neither Pro nor Amp will open the winamp playlist file I made of the collection.
I have played with all the other setups like vlc, winamp, skifka, bubble, air, wireshark etc but thats not what I want or what I'm asking for. Is it possible to que my huge library of music in PlayerPro or PowerAmp through ES/Samba? I know its possible from win7 to win7. Basically it works when you long press a folder and select music but that opens ES player when another player is default and will open single files.
Maybe there is another way to see the files more natively than ES?

Hi i use a tool like cifs mount.( maybe u need root with cifs kernel)then add the maped folder to poweramp lib. Then rescan it take looong time my flac distant files are now streamed without quality lost.
I loaded several songs on my tablet and can play them easily through ES File Explorer or whatever file explorer there is. After I start playing the songs, there has to be a way to keep it playing while I use the tablet for other functions, right? No matter what I try, the app just closes and the music stops. I just basically want to play some tunes locally and browse the web. Simple. Please tell me Android can do this.
Just use the Google music app. It plays local files.
More importantly than the file explorer you're opening the files in, what application is playing the songs?
The default Google Music player multitasks just fine with Chrome and ICS Browser--as well as pretty much any other app that doesn't want to play audio/video.
Not sure what you're doing that's giving you trouble, but you should be able to browse and rawk out just fine.

When I load up es file explorer to find the music files I want to play. Then I'll select a song. It will prompt which audio player to use. I'll select Google one. Starts playing. Then soon as I close file explorer the song stops playing. Can someone try those exact steps?
Just open the music player and let that find the files.
When you exit the music player press the home button, not back and it will keep playing.

That does not work either. This seems to be a small limitation of the device. Apparently the only way to keep music playing is you HAVE to load up the Google music player FIRST, select what you want to play and then you can hit the HOME button and it will keep playing. So basically you can only use the built-in Google music player app to keep music playing AND you have to open up the music player FIRST. I also have another small issue with this. When loading up the Google music player it displays all my music I have in the "cloud" and not what I have on my SD card. Or it is so mixed up, I can't even tell anymore since the player seems very limited right now. Too bad, because I'm pretty into music and Android doesn't seem to have all the stellar features it should have.
Why are you even bothering with the File Explorer?
Just open Google Music and it will find any songs on your device's storage.

This is NOT a limitation of the device. I replicated what you did and the reason why music dies out when opened via ES File Explorer is that it is using the native Google Music app to play audio WITHIN the ES File Explorer interface. ES File Explorer is programmed to stop the audio upon exit--this has nothing to do with Android or the Prime.
If you're dying to use a file explorer to open your music files rather than a much more conveniently designed music app, use the file explorer that comes with the tablet (File Manager). It opens selected music files and will continue playing even after exiting the manager.
Your confusion in the Music app can also be easily solved by selecting "Offline Music Only" in the settings menu. This will hide all music that is not currently stored on the device.
This is funny thread, problems multitasking? Really? Anyways try out poweramp music player for playing local media, blows away the stock Google one!
If you want to use es file explorer to play music, use the included es music player; it'll play music files in the background just fine.
I've been having trouble editing the play lists, is there a soft ware like itunes on computer which you can create and edit play list easily?
One thing that bothers me about the music player on this phone is that it shows every track in the SD, including the tracks in the game Real Racing 2, which I installed in the SD. Is there anyway to let the player play the songs only in the Music folder?
I also find that there were few duplicate songs in song list, even i just put in one of it.
Open file explorer and add a . (dot) at the beginning.
This works for all media like pictures etc.
Example:
Music
What you do is >
.Music

thanks, did mean add a dot before mp3 files or before folder name?
Folder name
Sorry, forgot to say that
Send from the best device ever.
Go to the folder with songs you don't need and create a file named .nomedia (with a dot, it's important). Then this folder and everything inside it will not show up in the music player/ gallery.

Hi!
I'm looking for an app to watch movies or TV shows that I previously uploaded to my Google Drive account. In Android I can do that with an Explorer like ES Explorer but it's only an explorer and the built-in player can't play most of the codecs nor I can't use a "open with" to open the files with MX Player Pro.
I take a look into the Play Store and I only see a lot of apps that can do that but only with music files.
Thanks in advance
