Been using this app for quite a while on my phone to play my music. I don't use it a *lot*, but semi-frequently.

It updated recently, asking for that permission on restart. The app wouldn't let me progress without granting access. Thought it was weird, but stupidly granted it the permission.

Nothing changed. Nothing obvious.

Until, that is, my phone restarted after a UI update from the manufacturer/carrier.

My next phone call had this annoying overlay on top of *everything* to 'manage' the call.

I assumed it was the UI update. Hated it.

If I wanted to see the caller info, I'd move the phone app to the foreground.

After the second call yesterday that annoyingly had this overlay and no apparent way to force it off or into the background - no *settings* - I actually looked at what was running. An obvious hint was that while it had rights to the phone actions, I hadn't granted access to the contacts list. The caller, who has been in my contacts list for the last twenty years, kept reporting as 'Unknown.'

Turned out the 'phone overlay' was the music player being two or three steps beyond f-ing annoying.

There *may* be a way to change it's behavior, buried in its settings, but the app has too thoroughly and easily crossed the Rubicon with me.

Crossed that bridge, burned its spans, and dynamited the piers.

Time to find a new music app.
