Developers are now using AI for text-to-music apps | TechCrunch

Aug 21, 2023 - techcrunch.com
Brett Bauman, the developer of PlayListAI, has launched a new app called Songburst that generates music clips based on user prompts. The app, built using Vercel and Leap, is free to try but offers a subscription for $9.99 per month or $79.99 per year, which allows users to download tracks in mp3 format. Meanwhile, Akhil Tolani, creator of music collaboration app Rapchat, has launched CassetteAI, a similar app that can generate music samples up to three minutes long. CassetteAI also offers a pro subscription for $4.99 per month, providing users with unlimited song generation and access to better quality AI models.

Both apps are targeting creators who can use copyright-free music in their videos or podcasts, and musicians who can incorporate the tools into their song-making process. Major tech companies like Google and Meta have also developed their own AI-powered music generators. However, there are concerns about the training data these models use to create music, leading to OpenAI partially open-sourcing its Jukebox model and banning users from creating music for commercial use.
