Then, we’ll even give you a quick introduction to how to use its trial version yourself.

How to use the Suno plugin?
You can only use this feature after completing Step 1, which is the first to launch Microsoft Edge. The update that unlocks the feature’s functionality is exclusive to the Microsoft Edge browser alone. Then, when you visit its homepage and sign in (we didn’t actually create an account there), click on Plugin at the top right of your screen from inside the Copilot website itself as well.) Check that Suno is active at the time of writing.
Once everything is set up, feed a text prompt into Copilot and wait long enough for it to finish. It does take the AI a while to create something according to your prompt. It took Copilot, as far as we can tell, ten minutes to write lyrics for a pop song about going on an adventure with the family. Unfortunately, we have no audio.
Copilot tells us that a link to Suno’s official website is available where we can hear the track, but when it flashed by on the screen, I couldn’t capture its URL. We then asked the AI to write another song, but it only wrote lyrics. Where there’s no sound When asked where the audio was, Copilot told us to imagine a melody in our heads or sing along out loud.
This is the first time a music-generative AI has ignored us and refused to produce any audio.

How the Music Feels?
Here, we went to Suno’s site for a glimpse of what the tech can do. Our experience was that the audio really did sound great. Vocal performances were surprisingly good, not wonderful. Not that they’re total gibberish like with Google’s Instrument Playground, but then again, they aren’t clear either.
We couldn’t answer how good Copilot’s musical abilities are. But if they match the base Suno model, then its creations will far surpass anything MusicGen or Instrument Playground could ever produce.
The Suno plugin has already begun to be rolled out, and it will continue for several weeks. Unfortunately, there’s no word from Microsoft about plans for the feature. We also reached out to ask if they will be addressing these issues. Music we would have loved to hear. This story will be continued at a later date.
