You only need to use the zip function if there is more than one file in the series that you want to play in order, like chapters of a book. I was under the impression that this was a series, not just one episode. Sorry if I misled you.

Actually now that I think of it, I don't think you have to zip an individual mp3 file. I've added individual mp3 files from dropbox to voice-dream reader before. I just forgot.

It blade straight through, with no problems. So thank you for recommending this. I do appreciate it. I was wondering though, why would I want to zip a single MP3 file, when putting it into dropbox? Is there a reason for this? Why couldn’t I just leave the MP3 as it is? I could see the reason to zip up a whole show.

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.

Why do you not recommend listening to MP3 files, using Dropbox? I do have voice dream. I love it. I use it to read audiobooks, and e-books, all the time. I never thought about playing other files through that app. So this could be interesting.

However, I not recommend using dropbox that way. I'd personally never consider listening to an mp3 file of say a described movie or something similar through the dropbox app itself. If you have voice dream reader, then I highly suggest you use that app. It is great for listening to a group of mp3 files, or an individual mp3 file. I've used it several times to listen to described movies and it works very well. Good luck.

So I am not quite sure if this is the right place to ask this question. So I have actually asked this on another list I am on, as well. Anyway, about a week and a half ago or so, I was listening to a file on my phone, through Dropbox. I do this a lot. I put stuff in to a Dropbox folder, than just play the file whenever I want to. I don’t know if this would be considered streaming, or not. Well, I have been catching up with the show, Chicago Med. The files are mp3 files. So about a week and a half ago, while watching an episode, it all of a sudden stopped playing. I went to the play/pause button, and attempted to restart it. I did get it to restart. But not a minute later, it happened again. I didn’t really have this happen again. So I didn’t think much of it. At the time this started, we were using Spectrum as our ISP. But now we have AT&T fiber. I don’t know if this makes a difference or not. But I thought I would mention it. Well, over the week I continued to watch episodes of the show. Everything seemed fine. Then 2 nights ago, this all started again. I had problems getting the episode to restart. I even tried closing out the Dropbox App, and restarting it. But nothing I do seems to make much of a difference. Also, it doesn’t seem to matter if the screen is locked or not. I usually keep the screen locked once I get an episode started. Now a couple of times, when I would unlock the screen, after the episode had stopped, it would continue to play on it’s own. But this is not always the case. I have a 10 X. It is up to date. Dropbox is up to date as well. What could possibly be going on? Could this have to do something with my phone and Dropbox? I would figure it isn’t my ISP, sense this happened while using Spectrum. At the time both these events have happened, it was in the middle of the night, or early morning. There wasn’t any other streaming, or downloading going on. Any help or thoughts would be very much appreciated. I just can’t figure this out. I don’t know how to fix it if possible. It is definitely rather annoying.
