Can you also play music from your own music library on the iPhone or iPad or do you need an Apple Music subscription for this?

Hi, you need an Apple ID so that the Home Pod can access your music. You do not need an Apple Music subscription. Greetings, Chris

What Chris writes is correct. As a small addition: Songs purchased in the iTunes Store with the Apple ID used in the HomePod (or one from the "family" when using family sharing) can be called up directly from the HomePod via voice command. Music that has been digitised by the user and then added to the music library can only be streamed from a device (iPhone, iPad, Mac, PC) to the HomePod - the HomePod cannot retrieve it from the Internet.
