None of my HomePods will play an album by any artist that is in my iTunes Match collection. For instance if I say "Hey Siri, play the album Revolver by the Beatles," she responds with "Playing Revolver by the Beatles ... Sorry, there is a problem with Apple Music."

I can find the album on an iOS device or MacOS device and Airplay it to my HomePod(s), but I cannot use my voice to initiate play. I can ask and succeed in having Siri play music by an artist or she will play a stream of my NPR radio station, but it seems to be specific to albums that have been in my original iTunes library prior to becoming an Apple Music/iTunes Match subscriber.

My iPhone is a 12 Pro running iOS 14.4 public beta (18D52). The home hub is an old iPad Pro running the latest build of iPadOS 14.4 public beta.

I had a long tech support call with Apple who got engineering involved and they seem to acknowledge there is something going on with iTunes Match, but were not specific or prescriptive in how to fix it. I did a quick search here and did not find a thread like this one.

Has anyone else encountered this issue? Is there a fix?
