ElevenAPI launches Music v2 with inpainting and 15¢-per-minute pricing

• ElevenLabs' launch post says Music v2 is now available through ElevenAPI, turning the company's music stack into an embeddable developer API.
• According to ElevenLabs' feature list, the API handles text-to-track generation, reference matching, and multilingual output, while its inpainting post adds section-level regeneration for verses, choruses, and bridges.
• ElevenLabsDevs' API intro adds a more structured control surface, letting developers shape sections, styles, and lyrics with composition plans.
• ElevenLabs' pricing post puts entry pricing at 15 cents per minute, while its rights post says the catalog was built with artists, labels, and publishers and is cleared for broad commercial use.

You can jump straight to the quickstart docs, skim the Music API docs, and ElevenLabs' product thread makes clear this is the same Music v2 stack already powering ElevenMusic and ElevenCreative. ElevenLabsDevs' skill update also ships a one-command install path for coding-agent workflows.

ElevenLabs packaged Music v2 as an API product, not just a consumer music tool. The developer-facing surface spans generation, editing, and structured composition controls.

• Text prompt to full track
• Reference matching against an existing track
• Multilingual generation
• Composition plans for section, style, and lyric control
• Inpainting for partial track edits

ElevenLabsDevs' intro tweet is the useful detail here: Music v2 is not limited to single-prompt generation. The API exposes composition plans, which let developers specify song structure before generation.

That lines up with the quickstart, whose summary describes plans as JSON for chunking a song into sections with their own style, duration, arrangement, and lyric timing.

ElevenLabs' inpainting post frames the editing model in concrete terms: regenerate a verse, chorus, or bridge without redoing the rest of the track.

That makes Music v2 look closer to a programmatic editing API than a one-shot music generator. ElevenLabs' earlier feature post lists inpainting alongside generation and reference matching, not as a separate product tier.

ElevenLabs' pricing post says Music v2 starts at 15 cents per minute and gets cheaper with scale. its skill-install post adds an agent-friendly setup path: npx skills add elevenlabs/skills --skill music.

The rights language is unusually direct. ElevenLabs' licensing post says the model was built with artists, labels, and publishers and cleared for broad commercial use, while the API docs summary adds a tighter caveat: enterprise terms are required for the broadest rights such as film, TV, and large studio games.
