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?

    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.

    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.

    Jellyfin as a server where my music is hosted.

    Jellyfin’s web client to stream on my personal laptop.

    Symphonium to stream on my Android phone, and sometimes Deezer (when I want to check out new songs).

    Deemix to extract songs I like from Deezer to my server.

    Tailscale for external access.

    On my work laptop I only listen to online radios, or I just use my phone. I guess I could connect to my server on it, but the laptop belongs to my company, so I avoid any access to my personal stuff.

      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.

    Looks like I’m an outlier here. I run navidrome on my server, but for jams on the go I use a HiFi Walker H2 dac/mp3 player with Rockbox. I sync my library from the server to the sd card when I add new music/podcasts/audiobooks. I wrote a python cli tool for the scripting.

    At home I use the web interface on my laptop, and an old android (wifi only) phone connected to Bluetooth speakers for kitchen tunes.

    Booming Music for local storage, with some Bandcamp streaming and occasional YouTube playlists via NewPipe.

    Music Assistant most of the time. Sometimes I just use Symfonium directly but they both tap into my Navidrome server.

    Just termux for android.

    I download music using yt-dlp, then I use a few bash scripts to play/shuffle/filter etc.

    Main advantage is simple playlists I can make with mkdir and symlinks.

    Hoo boy I wanted the full 2000’s download individual songs and organize them on your device experience so I spent too much time finding apps for each step.

    Seal - lets you download videoes if you have a video link, like a youtube video

    zarchiver - gives you better file management and control than most standard smart phone OS obfuscation bullshit. use it to rename and organize your downloads

    Aimp - allows you to make playlists and play your music

    Is it the fastest way? nope is it even good? probably not but there are no commercials, its all on your phone and you only have to organize it once
