Apple CarPlay

Do I have to pay for a music subscription to get music on Apple Car Play ? My phone has to be connected. I only want to listen to music on Apple Car Play. I ask Alexa to play a certain singer. It might be Siri. So is this the music subscription or coming from regular music on my phone ?

iPhone 15 Pro Max, iOS 17

Apple Music streaming on Alexa devices I have Spotify for music. With the family plan cost being comparable to Apple Music I want to switch and get Apple One plan. But one of the main features that I love about Spotify which seems to be unavailable on Apple Music is the option for direct streaming on Alexa devices. With Spotify, I can simply pick which Alexa device I want to stream my music from but I can't find that option in Apple Music. Am I missing something or is this just another classic case of Apple not caring about what customers want and just forcing their way?

Ask Siri play songs only from downloaded music, not Apple Music I do not subscribe to Apple Music, nor will I ever. All my music is stored on my Mac and synced to my iPhone when I connect to it. When I'm driving, I'll ask Siri to play a song from my iPhone. Most of the time it at least finds the song and starts playing it, but it always wastes time trying to get it from Apple Music, responding with "there was a problem connecting to Apple Music" (duh), and then it finally starts the song. Sometimes this just doesn't work, even when it's the same song I've requested before. It just tries connecting to Apple Music, fails to because I don't subscribe to that thing, then just fails to play the song that's *right there on my device*. Is there any way to make this work correctly? Why is it being so dumb about this?
