Do you also think it's reasonable to infer from that language that you can expect unwanted music to be downloaded to your music library whenever your phone feels like it?
Oddly, I did use a music service on my Android tablet. Among other things, it sent information back when I listened to a song (song title, performer, how long I listened to it) which is used to keep track of what users are listening to. At the same time, it checked if there were any new recommended titles for me and download them in the background if I was connected to a WiFi network. You could also set what it calls manual sync times when it did a full sync, download updated recommendation lists though the genre sort of those is atrocious, clean out songs you haven't listened to in anywhen from 1 week to 3 months, etc.

Other than my having to purchase books from Kobo or borrow them from the library, pretty much the same.

I'd probably still be using that service except that they decided to jump the cost beyond what I considered reasonable.
