Homepod + Individual Apple Music Sub

Hey,

If I get an individual apple music subscription and put that on our homepod - can my wife use that (via homepod siri) when I'm out the house? Or are we forced to get the family £16.99 version of it?

Thanks!

Single account is fine. How would Siri know it's not you?

Thanks, I ask because Siri does voice detection and we both have apple accounts setup on the HomePod

This was back in 2019:

Apple Music no longer allows HomePod and iPhone to play different music on individual accounts

Apple Music is no longer allowing subscribers to play different music on a HomePod and iPhone without a family account. The change appears ...

Single account never worked for me, my wife's requests were ignored until I moved over to Premier.

You can use an individual account, Im pretty sure it works over Siri from anyone requesting music, however if you decide to play music out and about on your other devices, the music will stop on the HomePod or vice versa.

I only had my account set up on the HomePod though, so maybe it acts different with more accounts on it.
