I use Vanilla music. It was the only music player I found that would keep my place in my long running playlist that I have on shuffle all the time. It gets through all the songs, shuffles, and then queues through all the songs again, reshuffled. Other players I tested would forget the place, or that music was playing in the first place, and that was frustrating.
I stream it to my computer by connecting my phone to my computer via Bluetooth. I think it's was a new KDE feature, but now my Linux laptop will pretend to be a headset/speakers, and the Android phone will just play to it. It's so amazing. Because then I can listen to audio from both my phone and my computer at once pretty easily, and keep my spot in that one playlist I keep running. Unfortunately, it has an annoying issue where it drops out (but doesn't pause the audio) when the CPU is used too much. Lemmy post: https://programming.dev/post/45725312
When I want a more reliable setup, like when I am compiling things, I usually plug my phone into my computer and use srcpy. This can stream the android screen to the computer over ADB, but I just stream the audio, since that's all I care about.
