Generated music you keep the rights to
Soundraw writes the track rather than licensing one, so you pick a mood, a genre and a length and then adjust the arrangement until it fits the edit. Downloads come as WAV or as separated stems. Because nothing is licensed from a rights holder, there is no claim to dispute and no attribution to remember.
Our note
Take this over a stock library when the brief is background music and the risk you want gone is the copyright claim. The output is competent rather than memorable, which is the right trade for most edits and the wrong one for a title sequence.
Full songs, with vocals, from a written prompt
Suno writes and performs a song from a description, vocals included, which is a different proposition from the loop libraries creators have used for background music. Credits refresh monthly and cover generation rather than length. Read the plan you are on before publishing: what you may do commercially with a track depends on it, and the free plan is the strictest.
Our note
This is the tool people mean when they say AI music now, and the free plan is enough to find out whether it makes anything you would use. For background music under a video, a library like Uppbeat is still less trouble; for a song that had to be about something specific, nothing else is close.
