The `PlaybackService` of the demo app is declared as `androidx.media3.session.MediaSessionService` instead of `androidx.media3.session.MediaLibraryService`. While this technically works, its confusing to do that in the demo app. Generally, apps that declare the legacy `android.media.browse.MediaBrowserService` should also declare `androidx.media3.session.MediaLibraryService` and the demo app should reflect this common case.
