Describe the Bug

When I try to send voice commands with Google Assistant through Android Auto, asking:

Request: "Play In The End by Linkin Park"
Response:
"- Playing In The End by Linkin Park on SimpMusic."
"- Sorry, I can't help you." (or something like that)

This forces me to manually select the song or use my smartphone.

Steps to Reproduce
  1. Start Android Auto.
  2. Ask the assistant to play a song.
  3. The assistant will respond that it will play the song in SimpMusic.
    The assistant will then respond that it cannot, indicating an error.
Expected Behavior

Google Assistant or Gemini are expected to be able to play songs, albums, playlists... on SimpMusic.

App Version

1.0.0

Research direction

Start by reproducing the voice-command flow with Google Assistant or Gemini through Android Auto, using the steps and request in the issue. Inspect the app's voice-command and Android Auto integration points; done means songs, albums, and playlists can be started through the assistant without the reported failure.
