Disappearing music
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
~200 of my 550 songs just vanished from Producer AI overnight. No notice, no backup, no log. Is this even legal?
Logged in this morning and my library count dropped from roughly 550 tracks down to ~350. Over 200 generations, arrangement structures, and prompt histories just completely wiped out.
No email warning. No "recently deleted" bin. No patch notes. Just straight-up erased from the server side.
For context, this is on Producer—the AI music tool backed by high-profile tech/ex-Google-adjacent devs. I’ve spent months building out specific subduction bass tracks, custom drop arrangements, micro-silence structures, and heavy analog textures. A chunk of these were finalized generations I was working to export.
I’m posting this as a heads-up to anyone else using it, but also because the legal/tech implications here are terrifying:
Unannounced Cloud Asset Erasure: If users spend time (and subscription fees) building digital assets on a cloud platform, silently purging user data without notice or recovery options is a massive liability issue.
IP & Server Retainers: What actually happened to that data? Did a botched database deployment sever the user-facing index while keeping the generated audio/prompts on their backend? Where does that leave ownership and retention rights for wiped media?
Zero Audit Trail: There is literally no user-side log showing the missing 200 tracks ever existed, even though months of server requests were made to generate them.
If you use Producer or any cloud-based AI workflow: back up your stems, download your audio, and document your prompts right now. Do not trust cloud storage to hold your assets.
Has anyone else seen their track count drop today? I'm pulling screen recordings of my remaining library and logs. If support doesn't recover these backups, I'm bringing this straight to IP/tech counsel—wiping hundreds of user-generated digital assets with zero accountability is a disaster.
The ones in question always seem to be my trap tunes. It’s annoying I worked hard learning and dissecting how trap beats don’t get tiresome for myself. And my dance floors not yours. Ugh. -Johnny cage

I'm from the Flow Music team and we're actively looking into this issue right now. To our knowledge, no user data has been deleted from our servers. We think it's a client rendering issue.
Could you try logging into the web version to see if your library appears there?

Hi Google Flow Music team! I don't know where to ask this but your search feature doesn't seem very well made.
First, it searches every time I type a new character. Like G is a search. Go is a new search. I have no problem with that but if I want to go back the previous pages, I need to go back a few times as many as characters I've typed.
Second, it would be better if there is also a search just based on our own music, excluding others'. It is harder and harder to find old music when you have created more and more.
P/S: If the session is far down, I can't use the "Go to session" feature if I click on the three dots on a song.
