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?

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

Well, I'll check it out. Maybe you have a point.

I do get recommendations with bands/songs I don't have in my collection. However, they are maybe 3-4 entries with the rest that I have. Its weekly recommendations because I get it every Monday. Don't think its a "mixed" list.

But I'll have a look see. Thank you for the head's up.
