Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
start with my music
I listen to music from the original Music app
but most of my music doesn't come from Apple Music
first, I download the music on my mac
second, I import it into "mac's" Music
third, I sync the music library to my iPhone
so that I can listen to music on my iPhone without any other apps
so the problem is
if I buy a HomePod
can it play the music "that doesn't come from Apple Music"?
thanks
iPhone 12, iOS 16
Siri on HomePod can play your unhidden purchase history with the iTunes Store, or your iCloud Music Library if you subscribe to Apple Music*. You can use AirPlay to play content from your library if you don't have/want a subscription. See Use AirPlay to stream audio - Apple Support.

* It may also work with iTunes Match, but that seems to be somewhat unreliable.

only if you purchased the music in itunes store
or subscribe to apple music match Subscribe to iTunes Match - Apple Support
but you can of cause airplay audio from computers and ios devices to the homepod
You should be able to. I don’t subscribe to Apple Music. I just have iTunes Match and I was, until yesterdays HomePod os 15.6 update, able to request songs that have been matched or that I have purchased were played natively on the HomePod from my library. But it’s broken. So maybe worth taking onboard. It’s been broken before, then fixed but now appears to be broken again. As far as I know Apple Music subscribers are not affected. I just get responses of “I couldn’t find xxxxxx in your Apple Music library” now.
So, can I tell Siri to play the music that doesn't come from "apple music" service?
