As someone who loves music, I always try to keep my playlist exciting. And while I have my favorite artists and songs, sometimes the music can still feel tired. That’s why I decided to try generating a fresh set of songs on my own with Riffusion, an open-source AI music generator that not only lets you create songs for free. Even better? You can download them, too.
I’ve tried similar tools like Suno and Udio, but I never get very far before I’m asked to take out my credit card. That’s not the case with Riffusion. No subscription is required, there’s no waiting list and although there is an upgraded feature, you don’t need it to continue using the site. In other words, you can generate music with no strings attached — unless you're going for orchestral.
I decided to push the AI song generating platform to the limit by building an entire original AI playlist with Riffusion. Seven songs, seven different genres, all generated in minutes. Not only did it work, but the results were so good (and so fast) that I don’t see myself going back to Suno anytime soon.
Here’s how my seven-track Riffusion playlist came together, including the exact prompts I used so you can try them yourself.
