HomePod very limited not recommended

I’ve tried all the suggestions to get HomePod to play my play lists but it doesn’t work. It says it can’t find the playlist in my ‘Apple Music’. Sometimes it will play a radio station that sounds similar to the play list I have requested. I can only use HomePod to play radio stations. I find this very disappointing. This problem has been round for a while and Apple needs to pull their finger out and fix it. I would like to buy another HomePod but will not bother until Apple has fixed the problem and Home Pod does what it is advertised to do.
