I've been a big fan of AI music for background noise while coding

soma fm has some good online radio stations: https://somafm.com/ https://somafm.com/ (and shows you the track and artist)

Same, though by surprise. I've been generating a very specific uncommon genre of music on Suno (a sort of Slavic accordion drum'n'bass - a totally random idea I had one day) and found myself listening to it more than I anticipated. I dislike most of Suno's vocal output but the instrumentals can be quite good especially in unusual fusions of genres.

    Largely no, but I did upload one of the very first ones I generated at the time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gP5eOdyRhYw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gP5eOdyRhYw – For some reason I find this sort of thing good background music, though suspect most would not! I quite like music with uncommon modes and weird scales and Suno isn't too bad at emulating this - especially with Arabic music (e.g. "swirling dramatic orchestral arabic music with oud guitar" will yield many good, if stereotypical, results). I'm not familiar enough with traditional regional music to pick out all the flaws so it works for me, but a "local" would probably say it sounds unrealistic in the same way that Suno-generated typical Western pop and rock sounds off to my ears.

      That's interesting, but my brain can't stop thinking that it's impossible to play the instrument that fast and precisely. Plus, it clearly feels somehow that it was created to mimic the actual live performance of some sort. I guess this "suspension of disbelief" kind of thing is easy for some, but triggers something deeply unpleasant for others.

        Oh, there's real music that's as scatty and uptempo as this from the region! My gateway to it was encountering a Romanian/Serbian musician called Benny Sarbu on YouTube who plays really fast accordion and synth pieces like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=plmVGVUFUJw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=plmVGVUFUJw .. his sound basically inspired my prompting. I wanted something that sounded like what he's playing but with drums.

AI music rocks. Especially the ones made on Udio, which I think it's the best model as of right now. I hope we soon have a "Flux" like equivalent model, but for music, that you can run locally/fine-tune,etc...

  There's YuE: https://github.com/multimodal-art-projection/YuE https://github.com/multimodal-art-projection/YuE But running it locally will need a bit more GPU power than an image model.

    It's also far inferior to Udio or Suno.
