TrashPlay
Download current version: 0.2.b Hund im Betastadium (This thing is totally Beta. So report Bugs, Questions and Feature Requests here and check from time to time if there is an update.) or if you feel like taking a risk try the the Nighly Build.
TrashPlay is a simple music player for Android (3.x and 4.x) phones and tablets to use during car trips and other events that need a Trash Playlist (for reasons). It offers only one button. Play. There is no skipping and no pausing. Ever.
The player takes its music from the Dropbox, using a folder called DropBoxTrashPlaylistDerHoelle. You should share that folder with all the people who will be on the car ride to put music in. TrashPlay will not use any other folder. Ever.
The player is nice to your bandwidth and synchronizes only when you are in a Wifi. So, don't forget to sync before traveling. The music in your Dropbox folder will be put on your phone. Music that isn't in the Dropbox folder will not stay on the phone. Ever.
If you enable last.fm (that is, when the last.fm button is grey) it scrobbles the music you listen to a specific last.fm account. This last.fm-account represents the record of all music played on any TrashPlay App. Ever.
If you stop the app TrashPlay will resume with the song played when you stoped the app. There is no skipping with Trash. Ever.
