It only points your storage at its existing copy. Also, other people can upload things to your DropBox, that means you could attend to a friend's song in BoxyTunes.
Thirdly, because DropBox acts only similar to any other printed matter on your computer, you do not must be do any uncanny uploading. You could indicate your DropBox at your song folder, and when you increase new song to iTunes, it will be mirrored in the cloud.

It moreover functions with Airplay, displays casing art, lets you jump over and dumpy and moreover jump 30 seconds back in a track. This final hints at a tidy use for BoxyTunes. If you couple your iTunes podcast printed matter with your DropBox, you will have present access to your new podcasts as shortly as they are downloaded to your computer.
Finally, BoxyTunes will let you prepare playlists, and will fool around in the background, and downloads marks for offline listening. Who even needs the iPod app any more?
