I'm not saying this should be a blocker, but it would be nice if someone said
they were looking at the issue while it is declared as a non-blocker. I've not
looked at it, but my limited understanding of the description and the fact that
one of the music-app developers believes this is not a bug in the music-app
suggests this is an issue in the platform itself. Not to mention, it is
installed be default on the images.

Speaking as a dogfooder who uses the phone (and the music-app) every day, it
seems like this has the potential to turn into another terminal-app situation
where it was broken but declared a non-blocker, only to have months go by
without a fix. Letting this through without someone actively looking at it would
be disappointing.
