i stream music from my desktop at home. i use navidrome as the server (edit: behind a reverse proxy). it hooks up to lastfm account to grab metadata that is not already build into the files. sometimes the metadata in the files are wrong, so i have to fix with an app called picard.

symphonium is a paid client i use on my phone, but it has so much customization that a buck or two made it worth it for me.

i use soulseek to share media with my friends. sldl is a cli tool for it that makes it easy as one command album download.
