I’m a little confused about the pricing packages. In what scenario would being able to create 600 songs a month (20/day) be too few?

I could understand if this was an API that people built products around, but it seems to be geared directly at consumers.

If it's anything like suno, it probably takes you 30 to 40 attempts to dial in what you were looking for. (And don't get me wrong, the results can be great with suno - there's just a lot of trial and error, and dice rolling.)

Given how much Google lives to mash their offerings together, and then sunset them, I live in fear of them killing Google Youtube Music (or whatever it's called), in favor of combining functionality with this, and having my music cycle between my actual library, and bespoke AI-generated stuff.

What I really hate about all of this, whether it’s music, images, video or anything else, is how much they all use the word “create.” As in, you can create the music you’ve always imagined.

You. Are. Not. Creating. Anything.

You are prompting. Then tweaking, changing, adjusting, etc. The tech is incredible, don’t get me wrong, but it’s advertised so blatantly as the user doing the creating.

Use it as a creativity tool, but don’t get caught up in the false belief that what it spits out is something you created.

Old man yells at cloud. Going back to my cave now.

Where do you draw the line? Do composers create?
cwillu•21m ago
It is not necessary to draw a sharp line that clearly divides everything before saying “this is too far” about something that has, in fact, gone too far.

How does that work with using a camera to take photos?
recursive•18m ago
You press the button to capture the photo. As you note, a different verb is used. When I order take-out, I'm not "creating" it.

I can see the appeal if this ends up being good at iteration rather than just first-pass generation. A lot of AI music products look impressive for five minutes, but the real test is whether they help someone get closer to a specific thing they actually wanted to make.

This website looks so terrible that I can't tell if it's really owned by Google or a scam.
DiabloD3•14m ago
Why did Google bother?

They're a music store, they sell music, both to own, but also renting their vast library out.

Google should learn not to shit where they eat.

Welcome to 2026's reality, most new music is already AI-generated. I don't like it, but it is what it is. YT Music is already full of AI slop, those tools aren't changing that.

If anything it gives Google control of the entire production->sale->delivery process.

I'm honestly not seeing a downside for Google here, can you elaborate?

Really bad at prompt adherence. Was trying to get it to compose a solo old time banjo piece. Couldn't get it to stop adding in backing instrumentals at all and it sounded too much like bluegrass style.

"solo banjo instrumental, strictly no other instruments" ... ten seconds later: drums, a fiddle, and a guitar join in.

I asked it to make lofi cafe music and it just made a static web-page. When I asked why there wasn't any music, it said:

> My bad—I forgot to hook up the sound system.

And then it started playing jazz, which I'm not mad about. Nice to see Google trying fun stuff.
