Siri nor Finding Downloaded Song in my Library

I have Fortnite by Taylor Swift in my ITunes Library yet when I ask Siri on my HomePod to play it she says it’s not in my Apple Music Library. I did they’re-sync and restart and that didn’t help.

HomePod mini, 26

This usually happens when the track is treated as a local or matched file instead of a true Apple Music catalog song, and Siri on HomePod is really picky about that. Even if syncing is on, HomePod sometimes just won’t recognize those tracks properly.


What often works is removing the song from your library completely and re-adding it directly from Apple Music, then waiting a bit for it.
