AI music generator: make songs and background music from text

Yes. Audo generates 2 full tracks a day free—either a 30-second clip or a 1-to-3-minute song—with no sign-up, no spoken watermark, and a 44.1 kHz stereo MP3 download. Unlike free tiers limited to personal listening, Audo's free and paid tracks are royalty-free for commercial use. When you need more, tracks are pay-as-you-go ($0.10 for a 30-second Lyria 3 Clip or $0.20 for a full Lyria 3.5 song, charged only when generation succeeds), with no monthly subscription—you pay once from $5 and your balance never expires.

Yes. Music generated on Audo with Google's Lyria 3.5 and Lyria 3 Clip is royalty-free for commercial and monetized YouTube videos, podcasts, Twitch streams, client videos, and paid ads, with no attribution required. What no prompt-only AI music tool can grant is exclusive copyright ownership or YouTube Content ID registration: under U.S. Copyright Office guidance, purely AI-generated music cannot be copyrighted on its own, and the model may compose a similar melody for another prompt. Every track includes Google's imperceptible SynthID audio watermark identifying it as AI-generated.

Switch Sound to With vocals on Audo and paste up to 3,000 characters in Lyrics using structure tags like [Intro], [Verse], [Chorus], [Bridge], and [Outro], plus parentheses such as (moving on) for backing vocals—or leave Lyrics empty and Lyria 3.5 writes and sings original words in the language of your prompt. For background music under speech, keep Sound on Instrumental so no vocals compete with your voiceover. Artist names, band styles, and copyrighted lyrics are declined automatically at no charge.

Selecting 30 s on Audo runs Google's Lyria 3 Clip ($0.10 after free runs), which composes a fixed 30-second piece in ~10 seconds for podcast intros, ad jingles, and short loops. Selecting 1 min, 2 min, or 3 min runs Google's Lyria 3.5 ($0.20 after free runs), which arranges full multi-section songs up to about 3 minutes in ~30 seconds and finishes on a natural musical ending rather than cutting off mid-bar. To build a longer background bed, generate two matching tracks and join them in Merge audio.

Pick 30 s or 1 min on Audo, keep Sound on Instrumental, set a steady tempo like 90 or 110 BPM, and describe the instruments and tone—for example, "warm acoustic guitar and light brushed drums, welcoming podcast intro with a clean ending." Once the track is generated, press Open in editor or send the MP3 to Mix audio, which automatically ducks the music behind your spoken voiceover and brings it back up between sentences.

Suno focuses on standalone consumer songwriting on a monthly subscription ($10/month Pro for commercial rights, while Suno's free tier is personal, non-commercial only) and offers no public developer API. Audo is built for creators, podcasters, and developers who want Google's Lyria 3.5 and Lyria 3 Clip with 2 free commercial-ready tracks a day, pay-as-you-go pricing from $5 with no monthly subscription, built-in voiceover ducking and video tools, and direct API and MCP access.

ChatGPT and Claude can write lyrics and chord ideas on their own, but they cannot render downloadable MP3 music tracks natively. Once you Add Audo to your assistant via Audo's MCP server (https://audo.ai/mcp), ChatGPT, Claude, Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor can call generate_music from a plain-English prompt, return the finished 44.1 kHz stereo MP3, and mix it under your voiceover or onto an MP4 video in the next step—or call the music API directly with curl.
