AI Music Generators
Short answer
AI music generators make songs or instrumentals from prompts. Suno and Udio produce full songs with vocals; AIVA focuses on instrumental and soundtrack composition with editable MIDI; Mubert generates background tracks; Boomy makes quick songs for distribution. The licensing picture changed after label settlements with Udio and Suno were reported in late 2025, so read the current terms before you publish or monetise anything.

How to choose
Evidence: Editorial assessmentSongs with vocals or background music?
For songs with vocals, Suno and Udio are the main options. For background music for video or apps, a royalty-free background generator is simpler. For composers, editable MIDI output matters more than finished audio.
Read the licence before you publish
Commercial rights usually depend on the plan. Copyright in AI-generated music is uncertain in many countries, and a commercial-use licence from the vendor is not the same as owning a copyright.
Downloads and export
Check what you can download and in which formats. Udio was reported to be moving to a more closed, licensed platform after its settlement.
Distribution platforms
Streaming distributors and platforms have their own rules on AI-generated music. Check them before uploading.

Common questions
Can I use AI-generated music commercially?
