Current Behavior

Currently, the application lacks user interface support for Android Auto and voice actions for media controls, limiting its functionality and accessibility for users while driving.

Expected Behavior

• Display a list of songs on the Android Auto UI.
• Enable voice commands for media control.

Suggested Solution

Application should have a dedicated interface for displaying core media features through the Android Auto UI, as recommended here. Additionally, adding support for voice actions would improve hands-free control.

Useful Resources/References

For reference, Refreezer is another Flutter based app that does this really well.

@Fakorede @GhDero I think I found what was missing, is anyone willing to test the new build before I actually release the next version?

[gokadzev]

I'll leave the test build here just in case, so if any of you test it before actual release let me know if it works: https://github.com/gokadzev/Musify/releases/download/master/Musify.apk

I'll test it as soon as I'm in my car :)

Hi, I tried the attached version 0.9.7, but it still shows "no items". If you want me to test another version, just let me know. Thanks for your work!
