Google Play Music Silo?

Google, when I access Google Play you should be able to look at the hundreds of albums I've pushed up to my music cloud and eliminate those that I already possess from your advertising sections.

Google Play Music shouldn't be a silo.
 
Today I have the Make-Out Music section at top. Scrolling through the albums in that section I see several albums I already own and have in my Google Play Music library. Wouldn't that space be better used to present other albums to me?

At a minimum, the ones already up in my cloud library should get a check mark like you do with apps and books, when I see them in the Play store.

There's always room for improvement, even for people who do computing that often makes me say, "That's so cool."

Thanks,
Brian

You say "exploit" I say "follow"

How DARE corporations use the loopholes lawmakers politicians created. I'm not even an Apple fan, but if it's a loophole in the law, isn't it more accurate to say 'following' the law instead of 'exploiting'?  Nice attempt at throwing the public 'Eye of Sauron' elsewhere.

I know, small government fans, you were expecting Apple representatives to be walking the streets handing out cash along with hugs, and are heartbroken and shocked that you haven't seen them yet. :-|

...because computing is F-U-N!

It's things like this humorous Google legal warning that makes me want to work there, and puts a smile on my face.

If anyone and Google, or Google venture capital, ever wants to fund or hire me to help them build an adult education/continuing education registration software email me.  Until then, thanks for the smile.
