Google Flow Music

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.

Ahh, a rebranded ProducerAI https://9to5google.com/2026/04/20/producerai-becomes-google-...

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.

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.

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.

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.

I wanted it to make a "PAMS" or "JAM CReative" style radio jingle, like the radio jingles of 70s radio stations but for my website. It failed miserably

Why not call it Slopify? Humans are the new vinyl. https://flippa.com/12100071 - I was wondering why SmashHaus was for sale. (no affiliation) Peak value. It's only downhill from here for outsourced music.

This thing is insane i already made multiple songs in english and spanish, different genres

Tried to prompt some instrumental progressive metal with keyboard and guitar unison solos and some back and forth call and reply riffing and eventually it just kinda forgot that there was supposed to even be keyboards in the song. Basically slop knockoff of Liquid Tension Experiment. The sound of the guitar is good but the keyboard sounded realy awful, just like a Casio toy keyboard pretending to be a piano. Like truely awful sounding, which is when I prompted the AI to try to fix the tone and then it basically just removed it. The drums were also waaaaay too prominent so I asked it make them a bit more subdued in the mix and it just ended up slowing down everything to the point it just kinda sounded like generic radio alt-rock instead. But basically once the keyboards were forgotten no amount of prompting could “convince” it to bring them back. I tried Suno a few months ago out of morbid curiosity and it was waaaay better than this. Actually got something that made my musician friends actually kinda nervous.

Really not a fan of the "ChatGPT" style UI, did they even look at something like Suno at all? This is a little silly to me. The music sounds decent, I feel like its missing some things, to be fair Suno still doesn't know what a Puerto Rican guiro is. I assume a lot of these AI platforms will take many iterations. Things Suno needs to figure out and maybe Google now too, is how to let someone pick a specific voice, and get a rather unique voice, I've heard a few songs in Suno with similar voices to my own songs, and its kind of weird. I do love making the songs as a hobby, so not a big deal. All in all, AI music is really fun to toy with, especially blending genres together. One very noticeable difference against Suno is Google Flow Music lets you make Music Videos, which I have yet to test. I wonder if I can use my Suno songs to make music videos for them, not sure I'm vibing with Google's Music AI yet. Aside: Makes me chuckle a little, since "Flow Music" is a reggaeton catch phrase by Arcangel who would always say "Flow Music" even though it was always called "Flow Factory" he would call it Flow Music. Edit: There's some awkward factors Google will need to work out, while the instruments and voices sound nice and clear, the rythm feels weirdly off for some songs, its like the voices are not matching the genre mix, its also missing some nuances I've asked for, I assume it does not know what "wobble bass" means. Suno lets you describe nuanced specific sounds or instruments and uses them how you describe. I told it to have a dubstep breakdown in the middle, it keeps the artist singing / rapping, which is bizarre, that's not how a breakdown would be... Suno takes great care to make sure the voice always matches whatever is going on with the beat, including humming the beat / bass / brass / whatever instruments are being played. Glad Suno is going to have some real competition, I just hope Google doesn't kill Suno with its bigger wallet, would be a shame. Edit: Final verdict from me is, it feels like less polished than Suno in terms of music, but more features. Suno lacks music creation which still annoys me they let you make a lyric video that's one single orientation / resolution, you have zero control over it otherwise. There's a "workspace builder" which you prompt and it builds a web app that lets you create songs and what not, not sure what all the features of it is, but it is interesting as well. If they get this more on par with Suno, they might for the first time ever take money from me since I left the Android / Google platform many moons ago.

The descriptions generated from the prompts are almost always great, but the generated music is always terrible. The sound pallete seems so limited.

This is their recent acquisition (producer.ai) rebranded. Before the purchase, the quality of generations had been going down for a while (IMO; subjective and anecdotal). I tested multiple iterations of their chat interface and was never thrilled with its ability to actually understand or adhere to prompts. I had liked their previous (Suno/Udio-like) iteration (Riffusion). Curious to hear how it performs for people now and whether anything has improved.

AI music generators are not my cup of tea, but it was fun trying to get it to create this fever dream machine. https://www.flowmusic.app/space/2dc0e63f-a27c-4f4f-91c9-60e8... I especially love the glitchy ui sounds, although I suspect it's hardly intentional.

"Let's go surfing dude, we'll make some vibes!" This is like if someone lobotomized your grand dad and then created an tik tok account for him.
