#Meta has announced #MusicGen , a brand-new music creation tool that uses AI to convert text prompts into audio files.

The internet firm claims that 20,000 hours of music, including 10,000 hours of "high-quality" licenced songs and 390,000 instrumental pieces, were used to train MusicGen.

All of the music that MusicGen was trained on, according to Meta, was "covered by legal agreements with the right holders." However, those sources are not well-known names in the music business like #Taylor Swift or Universal Music Group. The practise data is sourced from media repositories like Pond5 and #ShutterStock .
