It seems that some users who have updated their HomePod to the new software version 14.5 they are having trouble getting Siri to play a song for them. It's like it can't connect to Apple Music.
If this error is confirmed, we are sure that Apple will correct it quickly with a new software update. So if you are one of the unfortunate users who has this problem, do not despair that it will soon be fixed.
Various users are appearing on different social networks who are complaining about a common problem: their HomePod cannot access Apple Music after being updated to the new 14.5 software last week. When using "Hey Siri" to play a song or singer, the personal assistant can't seem to find that song in Apple Music.
These problems with Apple Music on the HomePod join other similar ones from a few days ago. On Tuesday of this week, various services of iCloud they were inactive for some users for several hours. Last week, the same thing happened with iTunes and Apple Music.

At the moment Apple has not commented on the matter. Some users were able factory reset your HomePod and the problem is resolved.
If you are one of those who suffers from this error, you can always solve it by playing the music you want directly from the Apple Music application on the iPhone, and play it through HomePod.
The problem only exists when you tell Crab play a song directly on HomePod. This is when the device cannot access the Apple Music application and cannot fulfill the command.
We will be awaiting a statement from Apple Lossless Audio CODEC (ALAC),, and a prompt solution in the form of a patch in a new version of the device software, which will solve the problem.
You are late. This happened as a result of launching ios 14.5.1 for the iphone, and it affected homepods or apple tv. It happened on day 3. On day 4 it was already solved
I am one of those affected by the problem. When asking for any radio station or song it says that there is nothing corresponding in Apple Music. I will try to reset and report the result here.
