Using Suno in Copilot to generate your own music
Don't consider yourself to be musical? Think again! Now everyone can unleash their inner Taylor Swift, using the Suno plug-in within Copilot.

Always wanted to be able to compose music? Now you can (thanks as so often to Simon R for the info about this). Just add the Suno plug-in to Co-pilot and type in some outline details for the song you want to create.

I don't know if this is a permanent restriction, but I had to sign in using a personal Co-pilot account to get the Plugins option shown below to appear. You would have thought that this would be the other way round!

Getting started

You should have the Co-pilot app installed on your computer (it's also installable as an app on your phone):

The Co-pilot app as it appears on my Windows 11 laptop taskbar.

If you run this and use your Microsoft account to log in (but see the hint above for which one to use) you should see this:

At the top right of the screen you should be able to click on the Plugins link (this used to be via an ellipsis ... tool, so if you see this, try it instead).

Scroll down to enable the Suno plug-in:

Paul McCartney, eat your heart out ...

Generating songs

Now that you've enabled Suno, you can start asking for songs.

It seems like you have to ask Co-pilot to "create a song". For my first attempt I asked it to create a ballad, and just got lyrics (with no music).

Eventually (it takes about 20 seconds or so) you'll get a song ready to play, with lyrics:

You can play this moving eulogy to the importance of your relationship with your cat using the link I've included below - along with 4 others.

Sharing songs

Once a song has been written, you can easily share it:

Click on this icon to share your song (the other one allows you to download it in mp4 format).

You can then copy the link, or email it to someone:

I copied the link to our family WhatsApp chat. No one thanked me ...

My playlist

I created a few songs, so you don't have to!

Request	Song
"Create a song showing how in the end it's your relationship with your cat which is the most important one in life"	Play/see lyrics
"Write a song from a cat to its owners in the style of Country & Western music"	Play/see lyrics
"Write a song in the style of a beatles ballad from a lonely cat wishing it had a companion to play with"	Play/see lyrics
"Create a song in the style of heavy metal about the frustration of not getting formulae in Excel to work correctly"	Play/see lyrics
"Create a song in the style of a soft rock ballad about the terrible new flow designer in Power Automate"	Play/see lyrics

Everything about this is impressive. With the exception of the Beatles song, the style is spot on (the Country & Western song is particularly impressive), and the production values are amazing. I'd listen to the Beatles ballad for pleasure! I also love some of the surrounding text:

"Your song has been created, capturing the special bond between you and your cat. It’s a heartfelt melody that celebrates the unique and important relationship you share with your feline friend. Enjoy the music and the memories it brings! "
"Here’s a heartfelt country and western song from a cat to its owners:"
"I hope this song captures the longing and hope for companionship in a way that resonates with the warmth of a Beatles ballad. "
"Your heavy metal song about the frustration with Excel formulas is being created. It’s going to be a headbanging anthem for anyone who’s ever felt the rage of a #REF! error."
"I hope this ballad resonates with your experience and brings a bit of melodic solace to the frustration."

My only quibble is that the lyrics aren't that inspired, although there are bright spots:

This is one of the few verses that you wouldn't instantly want to rewrite.

An unbelievable tool. I'll end this slightly bewildered blog with the words of Arthur C. Clarke. Where will this end?

"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."
