## Positioning

ElevenLabs Music generates prompt-driven audio tracks up to five minutes long. Reach for it when your application needs background scores, soundtracks, or royalty-free music from text descriptions.

## About

This model converts text prompts into audio, supporting both lyrical and instrumental requests. It accepts a 2000-token context window and produces audio outputs up to five minutes per generation.

On Kyma, the model runs on the premium tier with slower generation speeds. It supports prompt caching, which bills repeated prefixes at 10% of the standard input rate. Responses return exact generation cost in usage.cost and identify the active model via the X-Kyma-Model header, with automatic failover handling routing if a path degrades.

The model does not support reasoning, vision, or structured outputs. It accepts text-only input and returns audio-only output. It is optimized for batch or asynchronous generation rather than real-time streaming.

## Use cases

- **Generate background tracks** — Create royalty-free audio for videos, games, or applications.
- **Build custom soundtracks** — Produce instrumental or lyrical compositions up to five minutes.
- **Prototype theme music** — Iterate on text prompts to test audio concepts before final production.
- **Automate content audio** — Integrate prompt-driven music generation into media pipelines.

## Not ideal for

Do not use this model for real-time audio streaming, speech synthesis, or latency-sensitive interactive voice applications.

## Pick something else when

- You need fast speech synthesis → `eleven-flash-v2-5`, `eleven-turbo-v2-5`
- You need high-fidelity voice cloning → `minimax-voice-clone`, `eleven-v3`
- You need sound effects instead of music → `elevenlabs-sfx`
- You need lower-cost music generation → `minimax-music`, `minimax-music-pro`
