I did not know that. It's Apple Music or the highway on the HomePod? That seems like a serious design flaw for a smart speaker.

True. I went for a Spotify Connect enabled receiver with quality speakers. If see no need for Siri.

You can also get a chromecast audio for $35 and even connect it with optical. Great way to get support for spotify and multiple other services.
