Dear all,

I hope this request is in the right category.    Here's my problem.

I have an Android tablet that I use for streaming music to a Bluetooth speaker (Bose Minilink .... incredibly good sound for the size).
I have uploaded a lot of my collection into the cloud (Google Drive).
Everything is organized in folders.    So for a symphony I have   (for example)   Beethoven ==> Symphonies ==> Symphony No. 5.
In this folder I have a file for each movement.

Now I want to listen to the whole symphony.  That's to say, play each of the files one after the other, in sequence.      On my PC, in Windows, this is easy.   I just select all 4 files and then right click to get "Play".   Windows Media Player opens and the  4 files are dumped into a temporary playlist which then gets played.   

But although Android allows you to select multiple files, it does not allow them to be played or executed in sequence  (just deleted or moved).

So, I was wondering if anyone knows of an App that will let me do the following

1. Browse thru my filestore (in the Cloud)
2. Select multiple files
3. Dump the selected files into a playlist
4. Play the playlist

Thanks a million for any suggestions

I use BubbleUPnP to access and play my Foobar2000 media library on my Android devices. As far as I understand it supports Google Drive as well. I don't use Drive but I'm assuming you can browse to the folder with the tracks and then just tap play and it will play through the whole folder. It also has gapless playback (must be enabled from the settings) so there will be no extra silence between tracks.

Thanks xaduci.   I'll have a look at this.

For information, I discovered that the app "ES File Explorer" has a "play" button.    So, using this I can do what I want.    I can select multiple files (or a folder containing all movements of a symphony) and then just hit "play".     It goes through the files one by one
