The best way I've found to deal with this problem is to invest in a six dollar app called Cloud Beats Pro. I tested the free version and liked it. The thing that caused me to pay was that it limits your access to ten random files inside a folder, and only when you pay do you get the whole folder. I can press play on track one and it will play the entire folder of mp3 or flac files. I have a lot of concert recordings, and I enjoy listening to the entire show. You connect Dropbox to the Cloudbeats app and there you have it. Enjoy, and no zipping or unzipping required, by the way. Matthew

Just remember to zip up your mp3 file before uploading it to dropbox. Go to your voice dream reader library and find the add button, find dropbox and your zipped mp3 file, download it to voice dream rader, and away you go. Try a described movie sometime and you will be amazed at how good it sounds. Good luck. You could also do things like zip an entire season of a favorite tv show and play it on voice dream reader. I sometimes use folders in voice dream reader if I want to listen to a particular audio book series. That also works well. > On 12/25/19, Terri Stimmel <[email protected]> wrote: > Hello Joshua, > > Thank you for the response. I appreciate it. > > However, I am curious about something.
