Description

Duplicate Check
  • I confirm I searched for existing reports and found no duplicates.
Describe the Bug

On Android, using SimpMusic to listen to music: if you close/lock the device and let it keep playing, after a few minutes the next song in the queue stops instead of playing automatically, and has to be started manually.
Also, sometimes while actively using the phone with music playing in the background, it pauses when trying to move to the next song.
Last known working version: 1.0.3

Steps to Reproduce

Steps to reproduce (bug 1):

  1. Open a playlist
  2. Play the playlist
  3. Let 4-5 songs play through
  4. The next song that starts will pause instead of continuing playback
Expected Behavior

Songs should keep playing continuously, without pausing after a few tracks or when the phone is in use at the moment the song is about to switch.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reproducing the queue transition on Android 16 using the listed playlist and app version, then trace playback when the device is locked and when the app is backgrounded. Done means queued songs continue automatically across several transitions in both scenarios without manual restarting.
