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.
Feishin has turned put 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.
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 syncing.
At home I use the web interface on my laptop, and an old android (wifi only) phone connected to Bluetooth speakers for kitchen tunes.
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.
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.
I have a local Jellyfin server and use the Jellify app when I’m out on my phone.
Booming Music for local storage, with some Bandcamp streaming and occasional YouTube playlists via NewPipe.
Navidrome server on the NAS. If I’m away from home and using a computer, I have it exposed to the internet and just use the web app.
On my home computer I’ve been using PsySonic lately and like it quite a bit. Quirks here and there, but it does get updates.
On my phone, and so just about everywhere, I use Symfonium. None of the FOSS apps I found last year did it for me. Symfonium is ridiculously customizable.
I have a Pandora subscription. Trying to make it play nice with Music Assistant.
VLC, I just rsync my library to my phone with a script when at home
I recently set up Navidrome on my home server. I listen using Symphonium. Its all basically “Spotify but my own music collection.”
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.
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.
Navidrome server, which I access either through the web UI or through the Tempus app on Android
Navidrome server.
Mobile: dsub2000
Desktop: feishin (or sometimes my own tui client)
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.
