How HomePod Works With Apple Music, iTunes Match, iCloud Music Library, AirPlay, and FLAC Files

Serenity Caldwell:

I’m still trying to sort a lot of this out myself, but here’s how everything is supposed to work, from what I’ve been able to confirm.

In addition to what she reports here, I have heard from a friend seeded with HomePod that it does work with tracks that are not Apple Music or purchased from the iTunes Store if you have iCloud Music Library enabled. That’s big.

Update: Caldwell is hearing the same thing. So strange that Apple is letting this confusion linger.
