Looking to play Spotify music on Apple HomePod but need help figuring out where to start? Well, your search ends here!! Keep scrolling the page, and you'll get two easy ways to stream preferred Spotify music on HomePod.

Apple HomePod is the best-sounding wireless smart speaker available, and you can control it by voice using Apple's virtual assistant, Siri. Think of it as Apple HomePod's competition like Amazon Echo, Google Home, and other smart speakers. Basically, Apple allows third-party streaming music apps to add Siri support on HomePod. If you use Pandora or Tidal, you can ask Siri to play your favorite songs from the library. Sadly, apps like Spotify and Amazon Music haven't added HomePod support. It's a bummer for those who fancy playing Spotify music on Apple HomePod. Don't fret, two methods listed in this post will come in handy. Okay, let's dive in!

part 1. Stream Spotify Music on Apple HomePod via AirPlay

part 2. Play Spotify Music on Apple HomePod Offline (Best*)

Part 1. Stream Spotify Music on Apple HomePod via AirPlay

From iPhone:

Step 1: Start the Spotify app on your iPhone/iPad, and navigate to the Spotify music you want to play.

Step 2: Tap the "Device Available" icon at the bottom of the playing screen and select "AirPlay or Bluetooth.

Step 3: Select the HomePod you want to play the music on. Then play Spotify music. You can also use Siri commands such as "Hey Siri, play the next song" to play the next song in your Spotify playlist.

From Mac:

Step 1: Navigate to the Apple menu on your Mac and open "System Preferences.

Step 2: Select "Sound > Output> HomePod", and all audio from your Mac can now play to that HomePod.

Step 3: Launch the Spotify desktop app, and then play your preferred Spotify playlist. Your HomePod speaker is simultaneously playing Spotify music under your control.

Note: If you adopt this method, please ensure your HomePod and Apple device are connected to the same Wi-Fi network and have Bluetooth turned on. Despite this, this method is still only applicable to some Apple devices. Moreover, you will not be available to put your Spotify music for streaming on any devices once the subscription end.
