I have been using my HomePod to watch some movies and am very pleased with the ambience and depth it creates, but every once in a while it will go through moments where the audio breaks up and then completely turns off for a few seconds. It's not too often, but it is very annoying when it happens.
The other issue I've been having is when I play Apple Music playlists from my phone or iPad, I will select a song and it won't start from the beginning, but kinda randomly pick a spot 20 or 30 seconds into the song. Turning the device off typically takes care of that. Anyone experiencing these issues?

I’ve definitely experienced a song skipping ahead once in a while when playing. It’s happened twice to me since getting it. Not a deal breaker but annoying when it does. Can’t speak to the movies issues.
 
I've had the sound interrupted by 2 things - advertising on Twitter (the sound just takes over - this doesn't happen in other apps as far as I can tell) and when using my iMac to airplay the system notifications are interrupting playback e.g. email coming in.
