If you want to listen to your very own AI music track through one of the best headphones, you can.

Google has announced (via Android Police), that it’s upgraded its music model to Lyria 3 Pro, which can now generate tracks up to three minutes long – a major jump from the 30-second clips introduced when Gemini first integrated the tool last month.

There’s more to the update than longer tracks, too. Google says that Lyria 3 Pro is now better at understanding musical composition, letting you prompt for specific elements like intros, verses, choruses, and bridges – giving more control over how a track is structured.

The tool isn’t limited to text prompts either. Users can also generate music from images and videos by uploading media and asking Gemini to create a track based on it. It can also create cover art using its Nano Banana image generation engine.

Before you crack on with your AI music masterpiece, it’s worth noting that the longer three-minute track generation is limited to paid tiers, including various Google AI subscription plans such as Business Standard, Enterprise tiers, and Google AI Pro options.

As for availability, Lyria 3 Pro has already started rolling out, with wider availability expected over the next week.

Elsewhere, Gemini Live Translate via headphones has also recently landed on iPhone, letting users chat in different languages, Babel fish-style. With plenty of companies trying to win the AI wars, there’s never been a better time to nab one of the best AI phones, either.
