 I need to figure out AI tools that can convert text to music. Let's start by understanding what exactly the user is asking for. They want tools that take text input—maybe a description, a mood, or some lyrics—and generate music based on that. I remember there are a few AI platforms out there that do this, but I'm not entirely sure about all of them. Let me think through this step by step.

First, I should recall any AI music generators I've heard about. Amper Music comes to mind, but I think they were acquired by Shutterstock. Then there's AIVA, which is used for creating classical music. Oh, and Google's Magenta project, which might have some tools for music generation. But wait, does Magenta convert text to music directly, or is it more about AI-assisted composition? I need to check that.

Another one could be OpenAI's Jukedeck, but I think Jukedeck was acquired by ByteDance. Maybe there's a new tool from OpenAI? They have MuseNet, which generates music in different styles, but does it take text input? I'm not sure. There's also tools like Soundraw.io and Boomy. Let me see, Boomy allows users to create songs quickly, but does it use text input?

Wait, I've heard of Mubert as well. It generates royalty-free music based on text prompts. That's another one. Then there's Ecrett Music, which lets users input scene, mood, and genre to generate music. So that's text-based input leading to music creation. Riffusion is interesting because it uses images of spectrograms to generate music, but maybe there's a text component involved too.

Oh, and Stable Audio from Stability AI. They use text prompts to generate audio clips. That's definitely relevant. Then there's Loudly's AI Music Generator, which also uses text descriptions. So there's a growing number of these tools. Let me try to list them out systematically.

First, Amper Music (now part of Shutterstock) – allows creating music from text descriptions. AIVA focuses on classical and cinematic music. Soundraw lets you generate loops and tracks based on text. Mubert uses text prompts for royalty-free music. Ecrett Music uses scene, mood, genre. Riffusion might be a bit different but still related. Stable Audio by Stability AI. Loudly's tool. OpenAI's MuseNet and Jukedeck (though Jukedeck is now part of ByteDance, not sure if available). Boomy allows generating tracks, maybe with text input. Then there's Splash Pro by Splash Music, which is aimed at creating songs with lyrics and melodies. Also, Melobytes, which can turn text into singing. Meta's MusicGen is another one, released in 2023. Google's MusicLM as well, which is experimental.

Wait, the user might be interested in both commercial and free tools. Some of these are free with limitations, others are paid. Also, some might require technical knowledge, like Google's Magenta or MusicLM, which might be more for developers. Then there's platforms like Melobytes that are more user-friendly, allowing text to song conversion with vocals.

I should also consider if the tools generate MIDI or actual audio tracks. Some might output MIDI files that you can edit in DAWs, while others produce full tracks. For example, Amper and AIVA might output full compositions, whereas Magenta could be more for MIDI.

Another aspect is whether the tools allow customization. For instance, after generating a track, can you tweak the instruments, tempo, etc.? Amper and Soundraw probably offer some level of customization. Also, licensing is important—some tools provide royalty-free music for commercial use, others might have restrictions.

Let me verify each tool to make sure they actually do text-to-music. For example, AIVA's website says you can input a style and generate music, but does it take free text or just select from genres? Similarly, Mubert's text prompts—how detailed can they be?

Also, Meta's MusicGen is on Hugging Face, so maybe accessible through their platform. Google's MusicLM is available via AI Test Kitchen, but might be limited in access. Stable Audio requires signing up. Some of these tools are newer, like MusicGen from 2023, so they might have better quality.

I need to make sure I don't list tools that don't actually use text as input. For example, some AI music tools might generate music based on MIDI input or other parameters, not text. The key here is text-to-music conversion.

Let me compile a list with the names, descriptions, features, and links. Also, mention if they are free, paid, or have limitations. Include both standalone apps and developer-focused APIs. Maybe split into sections: user-friendly platforms, developer tools, experimental/research projects.

Wait, the user asked for AI tools, so maybe include both categories. But the initial answer should be concise yet comprehensive. So the structure could be bullet points with each tool, a brief description, features, and link.

I should also check if any new tools have emerged recently. For example, Stability AI's Stable Audio was launched in 2023. Then there's Suno AI's Bark, which is for text-to-audio but maybe not music. No, Bark is more for speech and sound effects. So maybe not relevant here.

Also, consider if the tool can handle lyrics. Melobytes can turn text into singing with lyrics, which is a specific feature. Splash Pro allows adding vocals and lyrics. So that's another angle—tools that can generate vocal tracks from text, not just instrumental.

In summary, the main AI tools for converting text to music include:

1. **Amper Music** (now Shutterstock) – text to customizable tracks.

2. **AIVA** – classical and cinematic, text/style input.

3. **Soundraw** – text to loops and tracks.

4. **Mubert** – text prompts for royalty-free music.

5. **Stable Audio** (Stability AI) – text to audio clips.

6. **Meta MusicGen** – text to music via Hugging Face.

7. **Google MusicLM** – experimental, text to high-fidelity music.

8. **Boomy** – AI-generated tracks, maybe text input.

9. **Ecrett Music** – scene/mood/genre to music.

10. **Riffusion** – text via spectrogram images to music.

11. **Loudly AI** – text descriptions to music.

12. **Melobytes** – text to singing with vocals.

13. **Splash Pro** – lyrics and melody generation.

14. **OpenAI MuseNet** – generates music in various styles, maybe text input.

15. **Magenta Studio** – AI tools for music, might require more technical setup.

I need to verify each of these to confirm they accept text input and generate music. For example, MuseNet might require selecting styles and instruments rather than free text. Similarly, Magenta is more of a toolkit for developers. Riffusion is unique in using spectrograms, but the initial input can be text that gets converted into a spectrogram image.

Also, check links to ensure they're correct and the tools are still available. For instance, Jukedeck is no longer available, so shouldn't be listed. Boomy's website says you can create music quickly, but does it use text prompts? Let me check. Boomy's description mentions that users can generate tracks by selecting a style, which might be dropdowns rather than text input. So maybe Boomy isn't a text-to-music tool but more of a generative AI that uses parameters. So perhaps exclude Boomy unless they have a text feature.

Similarly, Ecrett Music uses dropdowns for scene, mood, genre, which is a form of text input but not free-form text. The user might consider that as text input, so include it but note the structured input.

Also, some tools like Melobytes allow inputting lyrics and generate a sung version, which is text-to-music with vocals. That's a specific use case but valid.

Alright, compiling all this into a structured answer with each tool, brief description, features, accessibility, and links. Make sure to mention if some are more experimental or require technical skills. Also, highlight which ones are user-friendly for non-developers.
