    HomePod ~0.5 second of additional delay when using HomePod from my iMac – any way around this issue?

    HomePod 'Hey Siri, Volume Up!'

    On my HomePod, I listen to playlists containing multiple artists. The originals come from many sources, CDs, purchases on Apple & Amazon, etc. They have different volume levels, as is to be expected. Now, I’d think the iCloud Music Library and the HomePod computer would be smart enough to...

    HomePod HomePod randomly pauses songs

    I just got a HomePod a few days ago, and while I love the sound (no problem with reduced bass on 11.3), it sometimes pauses songs randomly when played from a playlist. This happens at the beginning of a song, after 1 or 2 seconds, and when I say “hey Siri, play”, it will continue from where it...

    Has anyone else experienced this? No matter how many times I’ve renamed my two HomePods, such as HomePod Kitchen and HomePod Bedroom, the iCloud device list won’t update. Everywhere I go, the Apple support page, iCloud.com, my iCloud profile in my iPhone, etc, the names won’t change from...

    Hey everyone! Since I bought the HomePod I seem to be having reoccurring issue with playing songs I’ve purchased from the iTunes Store. When I ask Siri to play any purchased song I will hear silence. The same situation happens when I try to control the HomePod via iOS’s AirPlay feature...

    HomePod HomePod Skills?

    Now that I’ve entered the world of “smart speakers”, I’ve started paying attention to what Alexa is offering. While I feel that Alexa has gone overboard with the equivalent of fart apps, I wish there were a collection of SiriKit apps that worked with HomePod. One Alexa skill that stood out to...

    Siri play new music command

    I tried asking Siri on my iPhone to “play new songs I might like” and the results so far has been very disappointing. The other day, it played an entire album from a group I’ve never heard of, and despite saying “I don’t like this album” it kept playing the next song in the album. And today is...

    HomePod Using HomePod with iPhone as Live Microphone Speaker

    Is it possible to use an iPhone (or a connected mic-enabled wired headset) as a live microphone with the HomePod amplifying sound? For example, an event that needs room music but also a small PA for people giving short speeches. Can HomePod handle both in some way?
