Will I be able to ask an Apple HomePod to play music from Apple Music? I am considering changing from Apple Music to Spotify so I can use Alexa to play music on my Sonos system but would like to know if it is worth waiting for the HomePod?

I just got my HomePod and it blows away my stereo paired Sonos Ones.
So now, let the games begin:-). There are HomePod reviews out there already that say just the opposite.

In this case, the waters will always be muddied by the different speaker placement philosophies. Even though Apple claims to use reflected sound to accommodate placement by the wall, direct sound projection as the Ones largely provide, will trump that for listening to a pair in the stereo sweet spot is what I suspect. On the other hand, Sonos units are not designed to be placed closer to room centres and then deliver sound all around them, where HomePods should easily win.

A lot also depends on the accumulated user experience that any user relies on for their definition of what is good sound.
