A list of Free Software network services and web applications which can be hosted on your own servers
Please don't reencode your entire collection to "save space", or use git for version control.
Put your lossless files on a server as a source-of-truth (with a regular cold backup somewhere else) and install a streaming server, like Navidrome[1], which will allow you to transcode on-the-fly to all of your devices. This is how you build a true "digital music collection": so that you won't regret it 5 years from now, when the site you bought your flac's from closed down/erased your files, leaving you solely with the reencoded mp3/opus files you kept, unable to move to better formats as they progress.

Though about the subject of the post I too am still kind of a retro-grouch regarding the music I listen to. Everything is stored in my computer and I listen to it with ncmpc - even did a little dumb patch to change that horrible progress bar with a straight thin line, but I like it more than ncmpcpp that feels kind of bloated.
I got a bluetooth speaker so I can "stream" to it when don't feel like playing it from my computer for whatever reason, and with KDEConnect can control it with my phone. I'm using mpdbus[0] to bridge mpd to mpris and kid3 to tag songs.
No longer carry around music in my phone but when I did everything was in a micro SD card. I got an USB adaptor for it just in case, so I guess that makes it for the "streaming" capability.

I personally use Ultrasonic. It doesn't look as good as Symfonium, but it's usable and open source: https://gitlab.com/ultrasonic/ultrasonic
