SIRI talking rubbish when asked to play music

Recently, SIRI has started saying things like "I'm reading the dictionary, don't tell me how it ends" as a response to "Hey SIRI, play some music.

Other times it'll be "working on it...please try again later" whether asking for a station of a tune from my playlist.

Anyone else having this issue?

Hello! New Helper here on Apple Forums


For Siri to play Music, you have to set an App on which Siri go to your Library and picks music from, If you pick Apple Music, say "Hey Siri, or Siri, Play "Song Name" on Apple Music" telling it as this should allow Siri to find the right music and play it


This is my first answer, and if I am wrong, please correct me and help me learn!
