I tried it yesterday and the quality is surprisingly good. Generated a chill lo-fi track for my coding tutorial in seconds. The AI actually understood "study vibes"!

Interesting tool but I'm concerned about how this affects musicians. Shouldn't we be supporting human composers when possible? The convenience is great but at what cost?

Finally! I've been using Epidemic Sound but this could save me $15/month. Hope they keep improving the variety though - tried some niche genres and options were limited.

The implementation is slick but I wish they'd focus more on fixing existing creator issues first. My analytics have been glitchy for weeks and now we get this shiny new toy?

Used it for my travel vlog - the "adventure cinematic" prompt worked perfectly! 🎥✨ So much easier than digging through royalty-free libraries. Big win for content creators!
