Well, the radio on the countryside sucks (here at last).
At home i use raspberry-pi's with mpd to listen to internet radio or my mp3 collection. But on the road .,..... Radio apps are loaded with ad's and/or you need a periodic deny all cookies.
So I m looking fore something else on my phone similar to my pi with mpd. Anyone implemented (re)stream internet from home to android?

First of all, most media players are streaming/network capable, they don't even advertise it. Just feed it the URL.
You can even integrate user/password combos for http simple auth into a direct link. Not the safest; just to avoid people getting wind of a free radio station and overloading your server. Unless that's you want, but then you should be aware of legal stuff.
On the server side, you can run your own radio station with something like Icecast. That's its own topic.
If you want to choose what you listen to remotely, you are most likely looking at something Subsonic-compatible (apps exist). People say Navidrome is good. I am currently running jellyfin, it's not subsonic compatible but apps exist, too.

Is a dedicated mp3 player out of the question? Would be a simple solution that doesn't require any internet access for when you're in areas with poor reception.

Why not internet radio on your phone, using the same streams?

In the German Ubuntu Wiki there's a list of many streaming URLs of (local) radio stations ordered by country: https://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Internetradio/Stationen/
Then they also have this list of online only radio stations, but those are heavily skewed towards German stations: https://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Internetradio/Internetradio-Stationen/
Just plug those URLs into VLC or any other app of your choice (heck, even the browser should work) and you're good to go.
