Unfortunately in practice I've found it sounds not great.

Depends. In my practice (selfie camera videos) I found it to be unbelievably good.

I remember seeing one of these in Chatswood, Sydney, Australia

Hooray for Asterix and Tintin! If anyone here hasn't read Asterix, you definitely should : https://youtu.be/rkNkanTnRwc?si=__EyTehCivEAZlc1

Asterix has been my favorite for years unfortunately it will be along time before they are public domain

True, but unlike Tintin, Astérix is still being published, and (unlike, say, Spirou) the new editions by the writers and artist who succeeded Goscinny and Uderzo are actually good as well.

Agree, Asterix is a fantastic comic, really fun and clever in a million of unexpected ways. As a parody of Europeans is unmatched probably.

I actually made money from selling a midlet via the Singtel marketplace. Not a lot but it was a good experience actually getting something to production outside of normal work.

Quite literally my favourite game of all time.

"Oooh Trackmania, I play that every day, what nightmare tracks are they talking about? Deep Dip 2?"

"Oh, that's not what I was expecting..."

Fantastic!

How do people feel it compares to https://suno.com/ ?

Comparison using the same prompt "A happy hardcore song about Java"

I think the suno one is amazing!

A lot of my prompts on Suno seem to inevitably gravitate toward a sort of contemporary pop style of production, but so far, it seems like Udio does better with older or more niche styles, such as 70s funk or show tunes. It also seems like a lot of of the trending examples I’m seeing on Udio use custom lyrics (which may or may not have started in an LLM, but appear to have human-generated phonetic spellings) as well.

This Dune Broadway Musical is a rather incredible example: https://www.udio.com/songs/eY7xtug1dV6hbfCDhyHJua

And this (nsfw and also quite funny) track feels like some unearthed 70s novelty record: https://www.udio.com/songs/oZ5EvJdtL152LUEhMB5YgJ

Significantly better audio quality and better features like inpainting. Saying this as a previously hardcore Suno user.
