Homepod Mini Airplay for Spotify is Terrible

I use spotify for all my music. Whenever I stream spotify through airplay on the homepod mini, the music streamed is never smooth. It keeps making "tching" noises which is really annoying. This does not happen with YT or apple music. Anyone else suffering from this issue? Any suggestions on how to fix it? I've tried everything— resetting my homepod, unpairing and pairing, etc.

HomePod sound dropping but only on Music app Intermittently, but few times per hour, when using Music App to play music via Apple TV /Homepod stereo pair (first generation), the sound drops out for about a minute or more - this does not occur streaming from other Apps- checked WiFi etc as suggested in previous discussions - I can only conclude that there is a fault with Music app - any suggestions would be gratefully received

HomePod Mini No Updating Play Counts Anymore Since I updated the HomePod Mini to 17.1 it no longer updates Play Counters for the music I listen to. No problem with iPhone and iPad, they keep updating the counters, but HomePod mini is not doing it anymore. Also, AirPlay doesn't even work, and before the update it (sort of) worked. I found this so much annoying, I like to keep track of the music I listen to, to know how many times I've listened to what, and now I have partial accounts. I tried everything: reset HomePod, reinstall the Music App, exit and re-enter iCloud, but nothing happens. Does somebody else have the same problem? Any suggestion? Or do I have to hope some future updates will solve this?
