I was able to update my Home architecture and I have updated my one and only HomePod to 16.2. When I am playing music from Apple Music, occasionally a song will start playing and then maybe 15-20 seconds in, it’ll skip to the next song. This happens to a number of songs and not the same songs each time, so I don’t think the issue is with the song itself. I’ve restarted the HomePod many times and have also unpaired and paired it a couple times. The issue doesn’t present itself right away nor can I reproduce it on command. I am hoping it is an issue related to 16.2 and not my HomePod dying on me. Lastly, I can try to reset the router but that’s all I can think of at the moment.
 
Don't waste your time resetting or restarting anything. This happens to me on all my HomePods. Loads of post about it.

Just typical crap Apple services… Something else they can't get right… Add to the list! You could try turning off lossless audio on the HomePod just as an aside, might help .

sigh… all right. I just checked and I already do have lossless off. 🥲

Just thought, all of my HomePods are running the latest 16.3 dev beta and I haven't noticed them exhibit this behaviour. Maybe, just maybe for once Apple have actually done something right with regard to their god-awful coding. Unlikely, but let's stay positive
