Arrr, I set sail with AI fer tunes, but I reckon I’ll plunder me music libraries instead!

Arrr, matey! Those scallywag AI music makers be as useful fer podcast themes as a parrot with a sore throat! They might churn out tunes, but they lack the soul o' a true sea shanty! Best stick to the shanties sung by hearty souls, I say!
Ahoy, mateys! When I be settin' sail on the seas o' audio and video, I be findin' meself in a squall over the tunes! Nay, not a grand sea shanty, but just a wee bit o' intro and outro music to soften the blow when I be startin' me chatter.With a treasure trove o’ music libraries and a crew o’ AI tools at me disposal, I thought, “Why not let a mechanical sea wench give it a go?” So, I set forth to craft a 'podcast' usin' Google’s NotebookLM, blabberin’ on the fine art of glass blowin’—a topic as shiny as a pirate’s doubloon!
I gathered me scrolls and videos, and lo! Two AI voices gabbed for over twenty minutes, though all I needed was a mere ten seconds o’ music. I tried a few AI music makers, but they produced sounds more jarring than a kraken’s wail. Finally, I found Suno, who conjured a track titled "Shaping Fire and Sand," which was a fine companion to me yarn about glass and such.
Though it weren’t perfect and required a bit o' manual tinkerin’, it made for a decent listen. While I’d still prefer a human bard for me tunes, Suno managed to create a harmonious addition to me pirate tales. Avast, it was an adventure worth embarkin’ upon!
