HomePod stream from iTunes

I just tried to connect iTunes on my iMac to my HomePod. Got a message saying to "Sign In to Apple Music to play to my HomePod."


I cancelled my Apple Music subscription, a couple of months ago. I use the HomePod to stream audio from my AppleTV, all the time. I have streamed music from my iPhone to the HomePod, in the past, and can use it for phone conversation. Have I wrongly assumed that I can stream my music from my iTunes playlist over my home network. Am I doing something wrong?




If I can't stream from iTunes to the HomePod without paying Apple 9.99 per month to do it, then I would dissuade anyone from buying a HomePod.
