New HomePod, the big one. Fully updated, connected to home on my iPhone. I have turned off virtually every setting there is to turn off on my HomePod via the home app. I just want it to connect to my Apple TV and play from there, plus nothing.
Every time I touch the HomePod, for any reason, it instantly turns on Apple Music. If I were to be subscribed to Apple Music, I would understand possibly. Yet I am not subscribed to Apple Music.
Not only that, it turns on music that is not my style of music, stuff I have NEVER listened to and is not even close to the genre I have listened to for the last 60 years. I used to have an Apple Music subscription for several years, but I learned from that mistake. I value my music collection I have curated over the years. Apple Music destroyed it and it has taken me the last 2 or so years to rebuild it from the scratch up, never make that mistake again. Hence, having been an apple user and music lover for so many years, including music match plus Apple Music in the past, why would it just instantly default to stuff that it nearly the opposite of what I like?
Why does the HomePod turn on at all when I pick it up to move it for cleaning purposes and default instantly to Apple Music and not my music style?
How to disable touch to turn on? I have gone on the HomePod accessory settings and turned off literally every setting.
I just want to use it as my Apple TV speakers, plus nothing.
Thanks for any tips
