Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
New to SimpMusic, but I'm finding when logged in to Youtube and I press the heart button to Favorite a song, it goes into a separate local playlist rather than into the Liked Music playlist synced to Youtube. That Favorite playlist also doesn't show up in Android Auto.

Describe the solution you'd like
Can the heart button/Favorite just save the song to your Liked Music that's integrated into Youtube?

Describe alternatives you've considered
Add an option just to save directly to the Youtube Music Liked Music, rather than having to add to a playlist.

Research direction

Start by tracing the Android heart/Favorite action and the existing YouTube Music Liked Music integration, then check how the local Favorite playlist is exposed to Android Auto. Done means the requested heart behavior saves to the synced YouTube Liked Music, with the alternative direct-save option resolved and verified against Android Auto behavior.
