Wasn't Lollypop an example of app that's intentionally not pulled in by default? /cc @tobias.bernard
I'm not sure if there were previous discussions on the topic, but it's definitely not the kind of app that you'd want in core, for a few reasons:
- The design is not fully in line with the HIG in a number of ways (overloaded headerbar, weird custom navigation scheme instead of standard flap or leaflet, non-hinted 24px icons)
- It's unfocused in terms of feature set, with lots of options and non-essential features
- It does a whole bunch of online services stuff that's inherently brittle (e.g. Youtube search/playback at some point)
All of that said, it's still a great app (and this is all perfectly fine for a third party app). Personally I'd feel more comfortable with it being a "suggested" app in the Store than pre-installed, also because we'd have to migrate over people's libraries when Music is made adaptive in the future and we switch to that as the default.

So we'd stick to not installing a music player app at all for the foreseeable future? Note that while installed by default the user can remove it at any point.
@tobias.bernard can you add that to Apps_Issues#14 and maybe link to relevant designs? Blog posts etc always mentioned lollypop.
