I want to know if I can stream music from my music library to a HomePod, without a subscription to Apple Music.

Apple Music Android no longer casts to Google Home Devices I have set Apple Music up as my default music provider on my Google Home. Up until recently, everything worked fine but then I couldn't get any music to play by either voice command or casting. I removed Apple Music from my home and re-linked and set to default music provider again. This enabled me to be able to use voice commands to play music again but I am still unable to cast from my phone. I click the cast button, select the speaker, it beeps and then.. nothing! I've just confirmed that I am able to cast Spotify and Google Podcasts with no issues, so the problem is limited to Apple Music only. Please don't make me switch back to Spotify!

Homepod currently plays Apple Music from it's own, and spotify (I read0 will be added soon.
