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.
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.
Music Folder Player, the only good player I’ve found in all these years. I’m not streaming.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
Copy stuff from my nas to phone (cable or x-plore), play independently with pulsar+
I guess that is a way.
It is indeed and it has absolutely no dependencies, which is what I am going for.
Rock on with yo’ bad self.
VLC on mobile or desktop, SD card music folder synced with desktop and server
Music Assistant most of the time. Sometimes I just use Symfonium directly but they both tap into my Navidrome server.
Navidrome + Subsonic Streamer + feishin
Jellyfin client on mobile and AndroidTV, and Strawberry on PC. All my music is on my NAS, which Jellyfin server and CIFS/SMB can access.
Keep meaning to look into Music Assistant for Home Assistant, as I have the latter.
Youtube music i get a discount from my phone provider.
