How to play Spotify on HomePod？

— I don't have an apple music account so I am hoping that the HomePod can play my Spotify music?

— Will HomePod access music from other services such as Spotify, Pandora and Amazon Music?

—  Is there any way to stream Spotify on HomePod without a Premium account?

The HomePod is the Apple’s answer to the wildly popular Amazon Echo and Google Home smart speakers. It has excellent bass and consistently superior sound quality across a wide variety of music genres. The speaker is easy to set up and Siri can hear you from across a room. HomePod sounds noticeably richer and fuller than almost every other speaker. Compared to the HomePod, the Sonos One sounds a little empty and the Google Home Max is a bass-heavy mess. The Echo and smaller Google Home aren’t even in the same league.

It works best with an Apple Music subscription, allowing users to ask Siri to play any of the 40 million tracks in the Apple Music catalog. We have learned that the HomePod can play content purchased from iTunes, stream Beats 1, and listen to podcasts without needing a subscription. What about Spotify? In general, Spotify has more subscribers than Apple Music. So the biggest limitation of the HomePod is that music directly through HomePod will require Apple Music subscription.
