Those permissions seem abusive, but some of them are not too odd for a music-playing app (phone status is useful for pausing the music when a call comes in, BT pairing for speakers and headphones), but mining your contacts or dialing just seem absurd (and should be blocked with xprivacy or Marshmallow's App Permissions).


Phone status I'll agree is useful, but there's no need for a music-playing app to control BT pairing - the phone can do that itself.
