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?

Navidrome on my server, with Feishin as the client on my computers, and Symfonium on my phone.
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.
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.
Navidrome server, which I access either through the web UI or through the Tempus app on Android
Just sync my files to my sd card.
I recently set up Navidrome on my home server. I listen using Symphonium. Its all basically “Spotify but my own music collection.”
On my phone I use VLC player to play files that I saved on local storage.
Don’t use an app, just Swing Music
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.
I’m just curious about the reason for both a reverse proxy and wireguard? If using a proxy (Nginx/etc), I would expect it to be exposed to the internet.
The reverse proxy is infernal. I type sub.domain.tld to get to my internal site. All with automated certs.
Makes it so I dont have to remember IP and port combos
Makes sense, I do something similar but just for things I want to access externally. I started adding some internal only ones but ultimately decided I was too lazy to remember the names and already knew the IPs/ports.
I use a combination of a custom built Caddy Docker container, Technitium for DNS, and DNSWeaver.
Automated DNS Entries, Automated Reverse Proxy entries all with Docker labels.
Sounds like an awesome setup, but I’ll stick with remembering the IP:port, its just easier for me to remember numbers than whatever words I used when I set it up.
Hey all good by me. Different setups for different folk!
I have a very similar setup. I work from home and use a tablet with symphonium for radio and my personal collection. When I’m in the car since I don’t have Android Auto, I just connect my phone with the Bluetooth. And I use tailscale as the VPN.
GoneMAD playing a local music library I keep on my phone.
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 an have been using my browser since. I might try it again, though, and see if the issue has been fixed.
Plexamp
If I’m working then normally I use the smart playlists to mix it up a little.
Copy stuff from my nas to phone (cable or x-plore), play independently with pulsar+
I’m more and more leaning to this solution. I only have a 8GB phone data plan, and refuse to waste any of it on my recreational music listening, nor will I ever see the need for paying for more mobile data.
My next phone needs a microsd slot, I miss them so much!
Yes it’s one of those things they removed to upsell internal storage.
Also, with music on the phone itself you’ll never have communication issues while playing.
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.
Navidrome server.
Mobile: dsub2000
Desktop: feishin (or sometimes my own tui client)
At work, youtube with ublock origin, adblock plus, etc, preventing the ads
Sometimes I’ll stream stuff from bandcamp
On the move, the SD card in my phone (with pairdrop.net to upload albums) playing through VLC
Is there a way to prevent the “are you still watching” shit on YouTube? I do the same and that’s the one drawback.
Ah, that I don’t know.
I spend a lot of time listening to a “Live” stream and that doesn’t seem to have thst problem… but if I listen to a playlist, yeah I have that problem.
However, I often have to stop to speak to someone / get coffee, so that seems to reset the timer so it’s not toooo bad for me
Makes sense, I’ll keep that in mind. Thanks!
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.
Same. Except work seems to block my cloudflare tunnel so I have to use Synology reverse proxy.
