I want royalties.
I just use the free music locker and I usually don't stream the music. It works as a sync service and downloads my music across all my devices.
As someone that uses the hot mess of a music service that is Play Music, I have zero faith in Google to get audio right. Podcasts on there were a complete disaster. A woefully incomplete selection, a thousand taps to even access the podcast section, no variable playback speed, and no integration with Play Music on Android TV or Android Auto. Pass. PocketCasts is perfect. There's even a web player.
Well, the ID resets with every wipe, right? So unless this screen shows the ID, you won't ever be able to go through the normal setup flow. I'm imagining you boot up the phone, try to log in, the login will fail, you'll have to hit back and go through setup without logging in. Once you boot to the desktop, you can go to settings, enable adb, and get the ID, then you can register and log in. While just this is a pain in the butt, I think the big problem is that logging in outside of setup means you give up all the app restore features. (right? I know setup used to work like this)
So Google's registration page wants an "Android ID." Uh, does Google provide a way for a user to <strong>see</strong> their Android ID?
