It's amazing how so many people have been misled to believe that HomePod is limited to Apple Music, which is not true. I think it's both a failure on Apple's marketing part, and our own fears that Apple can deliberately lock us in to their ecosystem. Not entirely unbelievable unfortunately, but in case of HomePod it's just not true.

If you want to take advantage of the "smart" part of HomePod you are locked into Apple Music. Otherwise, it's just another Airplay speaker.
Speaker marketing failure, or Apple Music marketing success?
