How can I stop my HomePods from playing other songs after I've asked them to play one particular song?
I'll often ask a HomePod to play a particular track which is does ... but then it plays something else at random afterwards.
Really irritating.

Hello Richard Morris and welcome to Apple Support Communities. It appears you are having some difficulty playing just one song on HomePod.
By default, HomePod will continue to play music after you've asked to to begin. But if you include "and then stop playing music" after the name of the song you want to play, HomePod will play just one song and then stop.
Cheers.

Ah - so that is what the infinity icon is for. It is tedious to locate and disable the "feature". In particular it looks like it cannot be disabled from the Home app on a Mac - it needs the iOS Home app for this.
Very irritating that it is on by default after the 14.3 update.
See Add music to your queue to play next on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Android device - Apple Support. You need to turn off the Autoplay feature.

Yep. Asking Siri to "play more like this" may turn it on, but I've yet to find a voice command to turn it off.

Yeah - I've had this start happening, too. It's a change to the previous behaviour - previously if I asked for a song or an album, the HomePod would stop after that.
Now it plays random and unrequested music after the requested song / album - often songs I've never heard or played. Not even a genre I'd normally listen to and the track the other day had language that was completely inappropriate for the kids. I don't want to have to switch on safe mode. Hopefully this gets fixed...
I have the same problem. Siri is so incredibly dumb. This thing is a joke. It practically does nothing I ask and gets everything mixed up and wrong. My particular problem is, I have set an automated 5min track at bed time, but the dumb thing continues to play music after the automated track finishes playing. I want it to be my bed time song so obviously I don’t want the stupid thing to keep
playing music all night. It drives me baddy and ruins my sleep rather than help it.. I tried everything to stop it including stop after 5 min, one minute, two minutes. SHE WON’T STOP. I’m selling this piece of poo. Sorry, Siri is just so not a decent product. Lame
Thank you so much 👍 Yes, it worked, though Apple Music has a lot of problems. It’s not Siri or the HomePod, it’s Apple Music, which is horribly managed. Everything from the selections to the way they present and represent musicians is just awful. Alas, Siri doesn’t work with other music streaming services. Have a good one
Thanks I'll give that a try.
What you're saying is that the latest HomePod update has turned it into a child that has to be told not to do something you didn't ask it to do in the first place...
Odd. It works here. I ask for a single song, and a single song plays. 😕

I also have this issue and the suggested fix does not work for me does anyone have any other ideas thanks 😃
Just tried it; didn't work for me either.
Well that doesn't work.
HomePod plays random songs after the one I ask for
