localhost will only work from the server - not from any other device on the network.
You have to use the server internal ip add:port no to access or just use the subsonic.org address which sorts that out for you (which is why its working )

If you use your subsonic.org address from within your local network, it will resolve your IP address to the internal address of the computer you are on. If you are on the same computer that the server is on, it will work, but if you are on another computer, it won't work.

As BKKK suggested, just use the internal IP address and port number of the server while on your LAN and you will be OK.
