Siri: "There's a problem with Apple Music." HomePod not playing any music

Can anyone update me on the fix for this problem which is brand new to me but appears has arisen in the past. Thanks.

HomePod, iOS 12

Why does Siri on HomePod have trouble playing songs from Apple Music? if I ask Siri to play a tune on my home pod, it tells me it will play the song, but after a few seconds of silence tells me there is a problem with Apple Music. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Siri on Homepod no longer recognizes simple commands I play music on a Homepad a lot, and up until a week ago or so I used be able to say "Hey Siri, play CPR Classical," and Siri would respond "Now playing CPR Classical, provided by I Heart Radio." Now when I ask Siri the same thing I get "Okay, I will play some songs like that," and Siri plays some random orchestral music. Similarly, if the Homepod was playing Apple Music and played something I didn't like, I could say, "Siri, I don't like this song." Siri would respond with something like "I'll tell Apple Music you don't like this song," and then skip the song. Now when I say the same thing, I get "I found some web results you can view on your phone," or somesuch. Again, everything was working fine up until a week ago or so. Is this Apple "Intelligence" at work or what? If anyone knows what I can do to fix this, I'd appreciate your advice.

Home Pod says , okay then Sorry Why does this keep happening?! I ask Siri to play music. HomePod Siri keeps saying, okay. Then says, sorry, there’s a problem with Apple Music. Apple needs to fix this frustrating problem!

Hi E8624,

Thanks for coming to Apple Support Communities for help today.

We'd first advise making sure the HomePod and iOS device you are using are completely updated to rule out the issue being related to an outdated version of iOS.

If the issue continues after this, contact Apple Support for a deeper dive.

Have a fantastic day!
