music subscription

I have my Apple Music subscription for one person, me. I can't play on two (personal) devices; which is understandable.

However, I am thinking of buying the HomePod for my living room.

Say someone play a song from the HomePod, I use my phone to listen while I run.

Can I use both devices at the same time? HomePod and iPhone

or does the subscription will recognize it as one device as well as the laptop...?

Thank you

HomePod mini Hi, I have currently an Apple Music Account, an IPhone 12 and the latest IPad Pro. I would like to buy a HomePod Mini for my 8 years old son and I have a few questions before. I understood how to set up the HomePod Mini via the Home App but once installed what does the HomePod require to work without any phone or iPad nearby? Is it actually possible? I mean, my son has no phone yet nor an IPad, and I would not like to keep my phone or iPad nearby just to make the HomePod work. Is it sufficient to have a internet connection to make it work? And it would only be to play music from Apple Music in his room. I guess I would need to setup a family account on Apple Music, right? I would really be happy if someone could answer all those questions because I am unable to find anything helpful on the net. Thanks in advance, Alain

HomePod setup once you had setup the HomePod, using an iphone, what must I do to change to an iPad or to another iphone to reproduce music?

Using Homepod Without purchasing Apple Music I am asking the question to answer it myself (The related question was outdated and I could not answer it: "I have a large library of music in iTunes, most of which was purchased on the iTunes store. I do not have Apple Music. I want to set up a HomePod in my basement and be able listen to my playlists without a lot of hassle. I don't want to have to go upstairs to a device in order to connect. Can I "Hey Siri" my playlist without doing anything else? If I can't do that, it seems that HomePod may not be the solution for me.")

You need a Family plan to play on more than one device.
