Is it your local server, which streams music for your PC and phone? Is it something else?
What about streaming music from your server to your work laptop?

Musicolet or vlc on my android. 100GB of local music on my SD card I have collected since I was a kid.
I personally just use local music playback, with SyncThing for syncing between devices. That mean I can listen to them offline!
On Android, I use Auxio, but Lotus and Chocola (previously CuteMusic) are awesome too.
On Linux, I use an mpd-based option called rmpc. Tauon and Gapless are also great! As for mobile Linux, Gapless is a good option that works pretty well. You might also like Plattenalbum, a GTK-based MPD client.
I use Navidrome on the server side
Tempus on Android (maintained fork of Tempo)
Feishin on desktop
I also recently set up music assistant to try and stream my music to my TV too, although I haven’t used it yet beyond just testing and don’t see myself using it too much
I scrobble my Navidrome up to ListenBrainz too, which then gives weekly recommendations to add to my collection.
I use LMS (Lightweight Music Server) on my server with the web interface to play on the desktop. It also scrobble to listenbrainz for discovery but I have to say, the weekly suggestions that hits my RSS feed, is music I already have. So not that great, at least for now.
On mobile I use Ultrasonic that downloads music on the phone as it plays the tracks. So the offline use is “automatic”.
Are you sure you’re subscribing to the correct feed? ListenBrainz gives two different feeds, one is a “weekly(maybe daily?) Mix” consisting of your own music, and another that is recommendations of music it doesn’t know you have.
Occasionally a song I have slips into the latter because it hasn’t been scrobbled yet, but otherwise the recommendations are reasonably good and I’ll decide to grab maybe 30-50% of them
Well, I’ll check it out. Maybe you have a point.
I do get recommendations with bands/songs I don’t have in my collection. However, they are maybe 3-4 entries with the rest that I have. Its weekly recommendations because I get it every Monday.
But I’ll have a look see. Thank you for the head’s up.
Holy shit I almost thought I posted a comment and then somehow forgot about it. Are you me?
Ok well, I don’t really listen on TV nor do I have a music assistant, but I do have Jelly on my TV for my family.
But I LOVE Feishin so much, it’s absolutely gorgeous.
this is exactly what I do, though recently I also started using cliamp at work mostly because I’m already in the terminal so much
Navidrome on my server, with Feishin as the client on my computers, and Symfonium on my phone.
Feishin has turned out to be pretty great.
Indeed. I was a bit skeptical at first, because, well…there are a lot of shitty media players out there and I’d never heard of Feishin. I did some skirt lifting and some reading and figured I’d give it a go. I used to use MusicBee, which is a pretty good media library player. MusicBee, as good as it is, lacks the…shall we say, ‘candy’ to it. Then I tested out Feishin, and that’s thje end of the story. LOL
Way back, i used to have a Linux TV with an app called Clementine on it for music. The magic was being able to just hit play on a song and the playlist used the scrobbles for LastFM to keep the thing going. Great for evenings with friends, it was like having Spotify before Spotify existed.
Feishin does this! It tries to keep the same style going, although I now used ListenBrainz instead.
Seems to be a very active dev team. I get updates regularly.
This is my exact setup! I love symfonium because it lets me download specific playlists that I want to have at all times (in case of bad cell service), and feishin for my laptop/desktop where offline downloads aren’t a concern.
I am still keeping an eye on Tempus though, if it gets good enough I might swap over since it’d be one less google play store app.
Symfonium’s dev supports a Google-free activation method. You have to have F-Droid, add a specific repository, install Synfonium from there, make a donation to the project on Ko-fi, then message the dev with details of the donation and your installation ID so it can be activated. A bit clunky but better than nothing.
Finamp on my phone, it’s working perfectly with my online Jellyfin server that I use on PC.
Streaming server: Navidrome
Desktop client: Navidrome web
Android client: Symfonium
Almost the same as you, except I use Feishin as a desktop client
Navidrome server, which I access either through the web UI or through the Tempus app on Android
Tempus is phenomenal. I switched to navidrome on my server to use it. Chora is also good, and I use it on my TV (works well on any screen). If you don’t mind closed-source, Symphonum is excellent.
If you are using Jellyfin, it works well on PC, with Fintunes on mobile.
You can find a number of good apps for navidrome here. I quite like Strawberry, which is cross-platform. I use it locally for library management.
I connect everything with Tailscale, which may or may not work on your work network, depending on how locked down the network is. I never had an issue.
On my phone I use VLC player to play files that I saved on local storage. It’s very rare that I do any kind of streaming on my phone, if I do I do it through Firefox.
Plexamp
If I’m working then normally I use the smart playlists to mix it up a little.
Navidrome server.
Mobile: dsub2000
Desktop: feishin (or sometimes my own tui client)
Roon on the server and ARC on the phone
Roon users get 60 days of nugs free
Well, they certainly know how to sell it. I’d start a trial if I got 60 days worth of nugs.
always locally hosted on my device
I also use Internet radio to listen to new stuff
VLC for files in local storage.
Tempus for streaming / downloading the rest from my Navidrome instance.
In the laptop, I tried Supersonic to stream music from my server, but for some odd reason it audibly degraded sound quality, so I ditched it. I have since been using my browser. I might try it again, though, and see if the issue has been fixed.
Just sync my files to my sd card.
