Hi
I have some issues with syncing apple music with my homepod mini. For example, when I ask Siri to play a certain album, it says OK, says the name of the album but then just plays what seems like the first song in alphabetical order.
If I ask for a specific song on that album, Siri has no problem playing it
I’ve already tried several solutions like restarting and unplugging the homepod, signing out of my Apple ID, etc
Would appreciate an advice
Thanks
Have you tried creating any playlists in your Apple Music? I have several that I switch between.
I say
“Hey Siri play ‘my’ list and shuffle”.
Substitute the name of your list where I used ‘my’. Sometimes it’s tricky to use a name that Siri doesn’t confuse with something else.
Notice I said ‘and shuffle’. If you don’t, then Siri will play in order which will get boring after a while.
Also I recommend that you setup your HomePods to recognize only the ‘Hey Siri’ command. The factory default is to recognize’Siri’ or ‘Hey Siri’.
A lot of times the HomePods will start playing on their own, because they think they heard ‘Siri’. A lot of people have posted about this problem.
HomePod Mini Solution To
Plays On Its Own
This solution stops the HomePod mini from playing on its own. It does work. I have not had my HomePod mini’s start by themselves since I made this change about 7 months ago.
Go into HomePod mini settings
Go down to ‘Listen for Hey Siri’
Go into ‘Listen for Hey Siri’
You will see 2 options
Option 1 “Siri” or “Hey “Siri”
Option 2 “Hey Siri”
Choose option 2 “Hey Siri”
Exit out of settings
