System Requirements

MusicWave runs in your web browser — no downloads or installations required. All AI processing happens on our servers, so even a basic laptop or phone can generate professional-quality music.

Browser	Minimum Version	Recommended
Chrome	90+	Latest
Firefox	88+	Latest
Safari	14+	Latest
Edge	90+	Latest
Opera	76+	Latest

We recommend keeping your browser updated for the best performance and audio playback compatibility.

Operating system support

MusicWave runs on any operating system that supports a modern browser:

• Windows 10 and 11

• macOS 10.15 (Catalina) and later

• Linux (any distribution with a supported browser)

• ChromeOS (all recent versions)

• iOS 14+ (iPhone and iPad)

• Android 8+ (phones and tablets)

Hardware requirements

Because all processing happens on our servers, your local hardware needs are minimal:

Minimum

• 4 GB RAM

• 2 GHz dual-core processor

• Stable internet connection (5 Mbps or higher)

• Audio output (speakers or headphones)

Recommended

• 8 GB RAM

• Modern multi-core processor

• 25 Mbps or faster internet

• Good quality headphones for accurate audio review

Internet connection

Stable internet is the most important requirement. MusicWave generates audio on our servers and streams it to you, so your connection determines the experience:

• 5 Mbps or less — Works, but file downloads may be slow

• 10-25 Mbps — Comfortable for all features

• 25+ Mbps — Optimal, especially for downloading WAV files

We do not require 5G or fiber. Standard home broadband or even a good 4G mobile connection works fine.

Audio playback

For the best experience, use:

• Quality headphones or studio monitors

• A wired or stable Bluetooth audio device

• A device with a working audio output

If you're a content creator, we recommend listening on headphones to catch subtle audio details before publishing.

Account requirements

To use MusicWave, you need:

• An email address (for signup)

• OR a Google account (for one-click signup)

No phone number, credit card, or downloads required for the free tier.

Mobile use

MusicWave is fully functional on mobile devices. You can:

• Generate songs from your phone

• Download tracks directly to your device

• Share generated music to social platforms

• Use voice input for prompts (browser-dependent)

For heavy production work, we recommend a desktop or laptop for the larger interface.

Offline use

MusicWave requires an internet connection. AI music generation is computationally expensive and runs on our cloud infrastructure. Generated tracks can be downloaded and played offline once saved to your device.

Browser settings

For the best experience, ensure your browser allows:

• JavaScript (required)

• Cookies (required for login)

• Audio autoplay (recommended for previews)

• File downloads (required to save tracks)

If you use ad blockers or privacy extensions, ensure musicwave.ai is whitelisted to avoid feature issues.

Troubleshooting performance issues

If MusicWave feels slow on your device:

1. Close unused browser tabs — frees up memory

2. Disable browser extensions — some interfere with audio

3. Clear browser cache — old cache can slow loading

4. Check internet speed — run a speed test

5. Try a different browser — some perform better on certain devices
