If I am understanding correctly, the github code doesn't contain the code to train the model? [1] The paper also doesn't seem to be peer-reviewed? (I guess it is pre-review, since it is on arxiv only 2m ago) No disrespect to the authors - looks like a really cool project - I am just a bit suspicious without seeing any performance on user-submitted data.

Nearly 100% certainty these are cherry picked. Almost all "music generation" approaches are, which is a canary in the coal mine. Good music gen is much harder than most non-musical AI researchers assume.

I just tried it with my own song submissions from a range of different genres, it works quite well.
