Issue with the home pod mini.

It can happen. Do you have a subscription to Apple Music? Sometimes it is enough to give a more complete request, e.g. "Hey Siri, play <song> by <artist>" or "Hey Siri, play <song> by <artist> from <album or playlist>". For really tricky ones I might create a playlist that can be called up more easily.

On its own Siri on HomePod is limited to your unhidden purchase history in the iTunes Store. With a subscription to Apple Music you can access all of your iCloud Music library including ripped music and playlists, along with almost anything else that is available in the iTunes Store.

You can use AirPlay if you don't want to pay for Apple Music (see Use AirPlay to stream audio - Apple Support) but Apple Music gives the device the most flexibility.

You're welcome. 🙂
