Permissions for "Music and audio" and "Photos and videos" shouldn't be mandatory

[mohammadrafigh]

Many people like me might want to use the app just to see the scrobbled tracks and get recommendations or write and see the reviews. There is no need to allow app to access my local music, photos and videos! these permissions could be asked where needed not at the startup where the slide show couldn't pass without allowing these.

Hi @mohammadrafigh , feedback taken and sounds totally valid. But we don't have the bandwidth currently to separate the permissions and ask them everywhere. I'll make sure we do this once the app is stable.
