Change music source for HomePod among several iPods?

I set up my HomePod using my iPhone, but would prefer to have it be able to draw music from several iPod touch devices. How can I easily change sources for the HomePod?

Siri on HomePod draws on your unhidden purchase history, or your iCloud Music Library if you have a subscription to either Apple Music or iTunes Match*. For anything else use AirPlay from any of your devices as you choose.

* iTunes Match users may have difficulty if the recognize my voice feature is enabled.

So, that link tells me that I need IOS11.4 at least to use AirPlay on my iPodTouch:

"Play audio on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 11.4 or later, or a Mac with macOS Catalina or later. Then use AirPlay to stream that audio to your AirPlay-compatible speakers or smart TVs."

My iPodTouch devices are both maxed at IOS 9.3.5. What generation do I need to get to 11.4?
