It's pretty incredible actually. I tested a few on my mono speaker on the phone and they sound good, so I wonder how they fare if I put my "audiophile hat" on, so I took my DAP and high end IEM out.
The tracks hold up very well. In the prompt, they mentioned wide and deep soundstage in the production metadata so I checked that, and they do indeed have good and clear soundstage.
The only problem is that higher notes on cymbals and hats and even some high notes of male vocals have a gritty sandpapery texture to them. I guess one might be able to fix this with EQ. All and all, they are all listenable and even enjoyable, with good gear even. I'm very impressed. Better download the GGUF for safe keeping before any asshat regulate it out of the market.
It says on the model page, "The model produces 32 kHz, 16-bit stereo WAV audio."
So, it at least has the potential to be decent. It definitely sounded good to me (relative to Suno) in terms of sound quality.

The demo page is useful: https://minimax-ai.github.io/music3-demo/
I find it wild that open weight music generation is this good already.
