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?

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.
Just sync my files to my sd card.
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.
Navidrome server, which I access either through the web UI or through the Tempus app on Android
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.
Feishin on Desktop. Symfonium on phone. (I can also recommend Tempo, which is open source but doesn’t work over Android Auto last I tried.) To host my music I use Navidrome. Which I have setup as a docker container, behind a reverse proxy. The files are stored on my NAS. To access remotely I have Wireguard setup. That being said, to use Android Auto with Symfonium while my Navidrome is only accessible on my network or over VPN I use split tunneling otherwise Android Auto throws a fit.
Musicolet or vlc on my android. 100GB of local music on my SD card I have collected since I was a kid.
Plexamp
If I’m working then normally I use the smart playlists to mix it up a little.
GoneMAD playing a local music library I keep on my phone.
Don’t use an app, just Swing Music
VLC, I just rsync my library to my phone with a script when at home
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.
