[android-developers] Re: Querying Google Play Music database

Aman - I spent some time last week trying to find where the Music app
keeps its playlists, and have failed.

The whole thing puzzles me a bit. If the Google apps aren't going to
use these documented APIs, what use are the APIs to developers ?

At the very least, it would be helpful if the API documentation
mentioned the fact.
