Change HomePod default music

Homepod defaults to playing Apple Music 1 even during the middle of the night if we accidentally barely touch the top.

I think I have figured out how to stop tap to play.

Can I stop it from playing Apple Music? I would love to have it default to my NPR station (although Siri can’t find WMRA).

stop HomePod playing ANNOYING Apple MUSIC! Totally fed up up my HomePod mini playing terrible music I never asked for every time i touch the top of it even by accident. Are we stuck with this 'feature'? Good hardware but unless it can be sorted they are going up for sale for a song <groan> Guy

HomePod mini automatically plays Apple Music one I have signed out and deleted Apple Music from all of my devices. Even though I never used Apple Music to begin with, I also turned off handoff from my iPhone and iPad. Whenever I tap my HomePod mini, it still automatically connects to Apple Music one and plays some terrible track that I would never listen to. I’ve reached out to technical support and they are clueless - I’ve been asked to reset the device four different times, questioned on what kind of charger I use, I’ve spent hours of my time for no resolution. Please, how can I get my HomePod to stop playing music from an app that I do not even have?

Videos interrupt music on HomePod I bought a HomePod mini to listen to classical music. That’s all I want to do on it - don’t need it to do anything else. How can I make it just work for the Apple Music and Classical apps? If I’m browsing FB or the news or anything else with video on my iPhone it interrupts the music on my HomePod and starts playing there. I’ve checked all the settings and can’t find anything. I turned off all the AirPlay handoff settings and it still does it. I want the HomePod to only ever be used for playing music from Apple Music or Classical. I bought it to replace an Amazon Echo thinking it would be better, but this is actually worse.
