    Disappointed that Spotify is left off.

    Left off how?  IOS 14 gave us the ability to pic a primary music service on Homepod. From what I know Spotify needs to add this functionality to it's app for this to work.

    Open Home App Click on Home icon top left Click on Home Settings at the bottom of the menu In the People Section, click on you (the primary user if you are set up as a family) Wait a few seconds and then below "Show Me on Apple TV" a MEDIA section will appear. In the MEDIA section you will be able to pick your default music service.  I have it open as I am typing this but I don't use Spotify so I can't make the switch.


    Thanks for the info.  I never got the HomePod as I had setup Sonos with in ceiling speakers years ago, so the It would have been somewhat redundant.  I didn’t realize that it was a different app setup for Spotify (over what is on your phone).  This is very helpful!  I would like to replace the home automation tasks that the Echo is doing right now and the lower price of the new HomePod Mini is attractive.
