There's a great app called DropSync. I've been using it for years and it will do what you need. It keeps your folder and PC in sync with Dropbox. If you add songs on either device, it syncs it back, if you make tag changes, rename them, etc, it will sync back. Delete them and they will delete too. Great convenience this.

- Make the Dropbox folder available offline and play them from there. Does not do what I want: I'd have to click on them one by one to play them. I can't just set it to shuffle play and go do something else.
That's really your only option. Dropbox is not a full-featured audio player. While it can play audio files, it does not have most of the common features you would want in an audio player. The basic functionality is meant for previewing files. It doesn't advance to the next track or have shuffle capability.
You only other option is to download the files, individually, to your device storage and use a proper audio player.
