Read contacts permissions

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Update to latest version
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
New permissions to read contacts.

According to revision  827db89ed31a the READ_CONTACTS permissions where added 
because there is a new option to share via Google Drive. I copy from the log - 
"Add option to share a track via Google Drive"

Why does this option needs to read the contacts and why hasn't this been 
communicated via Play Store?

We read the contact so that we can provide the auto-complete feature when one 
wants to enter email addresses during sharing.

The permission is on the Play Store.

thanks for the clarification but actually these new permissions are not 
explained at all on the Play store. In fact there quite a few complaints.

Hi, there are many complaints about it. Thankfully this is open-source. But for 
such sensitive permission requests, you should explain it on the update 
description and detail how these data are used.
