IMAGEN FAMILY TAKEN DOWN...NOW MUSICFX?

i know that musicFX and musicFX DJ aren't super well known, but i wanted to bring up that they are being taken down and suffering the same fate as the Imagen family. i really felt that musicFX DJ was able to nail specific genres of music that were really niche and unrepeatable on newer models like Lyria 3.

what was shocking to me was that the reason musicFX and DJ were able to generate very niche music genres was because of a strange legal loophole Google found. Google is currently arguing in court that the fine print of the YouTube terms of service gives them the right to use anything you upload to train their AI models. essentially, they are claiming they have permission to use your uploads to build their AI.

because of this, Lyria 3 is currently facing a massive copyright lawsuit from independent artists right now, and i hope it doesn't cause all the good tools to go down like Imagen and musicFX...

i just wanted to throw that out there just in case you use musicFX or musicFX DJ. they both shut down permanently on july 31st.

Are there any alternatives to Google Flow or any websites that offer a less restricted version of Nano Banana pro/ 2?

I'm looking for alternatives to Google Flow or websites that offer Nano Banana Pro/2 with less restriction. Any recommendations based on your experience? Free or paid is fine.

Whiskers - A labs.google flow tool

The interface tries to borrow and improve upon the beloved Whisk that was retired. I feel like it's done a great job of this, and works as an awesome front end.

The downside is that you run into the agent quota limit after so many generations (try switching to Nano Banana 2 if you do) and the limitations of flow mean downloading large libraries between sessions.
