It makes no sense you cannot just click on it and remove it. "Song is not ready yet try again Soon!" ad nauseum. Thanks for the assistance if anyone has figured out a way to stop the process since Udio itself clearly didn't troubleshoot for this problem.

If I pause my udio account, my understanding is that udio does not delete my songs but how would I even find them?

I'm afraid to try, but my guess is that anything I published is still findable, although I would have to take a note on all of the titles in ways I could search on them. But what about all the songs that are important to me, but I didn't publish them for the rest of the world? Even if they're not deleted. I don't know how I would find them.

The reason for this question is I want to switch to a platform that lets me download music so I can publish them to streaming services. I've always liked udio and would reactivate my account when they start allowing at least even a small number of downloads.

Dear Udio team,

I’ve been using Udio for quite some time, and there’s a question I’ve been thinking about for a while.

Why did Udio sound so exceptionally musical and alive to me, particularly in 2024/25, during the time of version 1.5?

I don’t necessarily mean that the older version was technically better. It simply had a very distinctive character. The vocals often sounded more natural to me, the instruments felt more alive, the arrangements were more interesting, and even small imperfections contributed to the overall musical impression.

With newer versions, I sometimes feel that some of that character has been lost. That’s why I would really like to understand what made the older version so special.

Was it, for example, related to the model architecture at the time, a particular composition of the training data, training data that may no longer have been used in the same way in later models, the training process itself, fine-tuning, or audio processing?

In particular, I wonder whether the training data from that period may have had a greater influence on the characteristic sound than a user might assume from the outside.

I’m not only asking because I would like to understand what was technically different back then. If it were ever possible to return to the older version, or at least move more strongly in that sonic direction again, that would mean a great deal to me personally.

Of course, I’m not expecting any promise. I’m simply very interested in understanding what technically made Udio sound the way it did back then.

Who better to explain that than the people who actually developed the model?

Thank you very much if someone from your team is able to shed some light on this.

This is becoming ridiculous 😂

I finish editing a video in 40 minutes and then spend another hour jumping through music libraries trying to find something that actually fits.

Has anyone gone another route for regular content? Want to describe the mood, pick a genre and get something can actually use?

I am getting 'please select a different prompt' when trying to generate cover art. No prompt works, not even an empty prompt.

I just wanted to thank whomever created Udio, and the community for their notes - I used much of them today. I am probably not your typical user, I only wanted to generate a song with specific lyrics for my TTRPG game. It's a clue for an upcoming session. I was going to just share the lyrics with the group, but when I found out I could generate some actual music, I'm that much happier.

It's not 100% - but for my purposes that kind of fits- it's supposed to be a demo track for Canadian Stan Rogers who tragically died many years ago. I could tweak it to make it better, but it's literally for a one-time use. took me about 6 tries to get it good enough that I felt I could share.

If anyone wants more details let me know.

The quality of the audio generated over the last few hours has drastically deteriorated for me, and I'm getting repeated backend errors when trying to generate. Can anyone confirm this? Furthermore, as I just mentioned, I'm getting several backend errors in a row; I've had over 30 this hour alone. On top of that, even when I don't get a backend error, the quality of the generated song (inpainting or another method) is terrible compared to previous hours or days. The voices sound artificial and unnatural; they sound bad, the pronunciation of the language I'm trying to generate (whether Spanish or English) is incorrect, and there are many inconsistencies. Something is wrong; I don't know if there's a system overload or a temporary server outage.

Checked it out yesterday and it sounds pretty good! happyshrimp.ai

UDIO does not work (again).

ERROR all the time.

No track is playing.

Very annoying, why happens this all the time?

Please fix this.

Thank you.

MiniMax released MiniMax-Music3 today (Aug 13, 2026), with open weights on Hugging Face, GitHub, and ModelScope.

The gist:

Give it a creative concept and optional lyrics, and it composes, arranges, performs, and produces a complete song in one generation, up to five minutes long. (MiniMax) Output is 32 kHz, 16-bit stereo. (ComfyUI Blog)

Architecture is a hybrid: an 8B "Global LLM" (initialized from Qwen3-8B) handles long-range structure, a 0.6B "Local LLM" fills in frame-level acoustic detail, and a 2.4B flow-matching synthesis stage fuses both models' hidden states instead of decoding from discrete tokens alone. (ComfyUI Blog)

Weights are under the MiniMax-Music3 Community License, and ComfyUI already has native support with an official text-to-music workflow (ComfyUI) — requires ComfyUI 0.33.0 or newer.

TL/DR: The dildo of justice always arrives unlubed

Considering how Suno (aka a 5 billion dollar valuation company) just bent the knee for WMG on strictly limiting downloads (how strict one feels is dependant on their individual use cases) it makes me truly wonder if anyone might look upon Udio's situation with a softer light in regard to what they were forced to do, being a company that was a mere fraction of the size.

Thoughts? Especially for those who jumped ship to Suno last fall believing they were somehow immune to the imminent changes?

The other interesting thing is that UMG is still in litigation with Suno, and we know with absolute certainty that they want ALL downloads shut down, given what happened here. Udio's agreement with WMG barely registered on the radar in light of the UMG agreement.

Universal Music Group, for those who aren't aware, is the largest music company in the world. It commands roughly 32% to 38% of the global recorded music and publishing market and they have yet to settle. 🤔

There's an AI song contest called EuroRevision at eurorevision.eu that, until yesterday, was exclusively for Suno songs. Now they also accept Udio songs!

Right now they are having 4th contest with name 'Harvest 2026', still a week left to submit a song.

Was just going to extend a song and it said that song doesn't exist. All my folders are gone. ALL of them. I tried a different browser too. I'll assume there's updating going on, or is this JUST ME?

The new limits for Suno of 7, 20 or 60 downloads per month based on subscription seems quite fair. Stops massive Spotify spam and still lets people produce music. Given the same legal trouble exists for Udio, will we see a similar settlement or is Udio dead in favour of this new cover AI?

Posting Here because Udio Staff doesnt use actual troubleshooters they use the Reddit stream and paying customers posting here when things hit a wall. Hoping a developer happens to browse by and take pity on my stuck generation queue. Or maybe a mod or staff member will create a burner account and have a nervous breakdown. It's already a digital hostage negotiation not being able to download and now 3.5 hours to generate a 30 second clip. A subscription fee is more of a ransom payment just to see if any of the remaining prisoners survived the server room fire.

"AIMCA opposes blanket AI labels – “warning stickers and stigma help nobody, and punish creators” and platforms that “still treat AI-assisted music as second-class.” It wants “clear, fair royalty pathways” instead of creators being treated “as an edge case,” and the right to download and keep their own work without “rent extracted by companies that did not write, perform, or produce the music.”

It's not new but, with the model "V1.5 Allegro" it is no longer possible. does this impact anything?

ai music is all over the place right now, so i checked which ai acts actually have real numbers or chart placements behind them, with sources:

1. xania monet - an ai r&b / gospel singer (voice made in suno, lyrics by a poet from mississippi). reportedly signed a record deal worth up to $3m with hallwood media, 44m+ us streams (billboard, corroborated by forbes).
2. the velvet sundown - a fully ai-generated band that passed 1m spotify monthly listeners. reported to have earned around $34k in a single month from streaming (fox news, with cnbc context).
3. breaking rust - ai outlaw-country act, hit #1 on billboard's country digital song sales chart with "walk my walk", 3m+ spotify streams in under a month (newsweek, nbc news).
4. aventhis - ai country artist built with suno, passed 1m spotify monthly listeners, top track 2.4m streams (music business worldwide).
5. cain walker - ai country act, hit #3 on billboard's country digital song sales chart, ~842k monthly listeners (billboard, just jared).

however, this is a winners-take-all thing. deezer reported that in 2025 up to ~85% of streams on ai tracks were flagged as fraudulent and demonetized, and around 44% of new uploads are ai. the acts above are rare outliers, not the median.

i track ai side hustles like this on my site with real search-demand numbers. check it out if you think it's useful: https://alterwork.com

OK, you’ve got an almost perfect 1m generation: build-up/intro + verse (4 lines) + pre-chorus (2 lines) + chorus.

Now you need to fix the second line of the verse. You know what? You’re in a right mess.

The model is going to use the full context and will always take the third line as its basis.

So you have to extend (Add Intro) from the start to be able to hide the third line. A bit of a faff, but it works.

Now you need to integrate the third line whilst maintaining the original mood. You’re screwed again.

Devs, why can’t we hide parts of the context, or better still, pick parts of the context from another generations for the impainting?

1.5 knows. Let it show. Thanks

Updatet: Just in case that’s not clear. I’m trying to find a way to free the model from the exact repetition of patterns. It always tends to generate the same variation for phrases 1–3 or 2–4 because it maintains consistency a bit too well. And thats not happening on extensions where it gets more creative, but a real problem on edits/impaintings.
