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 out to be pretty great.
Musicolet or vlc on my android. 100GB of local music on my SD card I have collected since I was a kid.
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.
Navidrome server, which I access either through the web UI or through the Tempus app on Android
Plexamp
If I’m working then normally I use the smart playlists to mix it up a little.
Navidrome server.
Mobile: dsub2000
Desktop: feishin (or sometimes my own tui client)
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.
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.
Finamp on my phone, it’s working perfectly with my online Jellyfin server that I use on PC.
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.
VLC, I just rsync my library to my phone with a script when at home
always locally hosted on my device
I also use Internet radio to listen to new stuff

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.
Moved to Apple Music after Rogan started airing on Spotify. Hence Apple Music on the phone, streaming through Cider on Arch otherwise
Edit: I could not work with local files or my own file server because of the breadth and amount of music I listen to. I’d have to have a massive collection and constantly keep buying 🤑
