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.
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.
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.
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.
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
Finamp on my phone, it’s working perfectly with my online Jellyfin server that I use on PC.
always locally hosted on my device
I also use Internet radio to listen to new stuff

VLC, I just rsync my library to my phone with a script when at home
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.
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.
Tried selfhosting for a while but didnt quite flop my mop. Now paying for Qobuz which works great!
I ditched qobuz last week because they kept pushing hard for Brazilian music, which I don’t listen to really, in from Portugal and mainly listen to hip hop, jazz, soul and r&b. So in a couple hours I got a new setup with Navidrome, soulseek, symphonium on my phone, feishin on my desktops, listenbrainz for playlists recommendation, audiomuse, very happy
Streaming server: Navidrome
Desktop client: Navidrome web
Android client: Symfonium
Almost the same as you, except I use Feishin as a desktop client
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
Give New Pipe and / or PipePipe a go, I use them to download just the audio from youtube (can do the video too of course…)
I also use Ghost Commander and Material Files to help organise files…
All of these are on F-Droid if you wanted to try them out.
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.
