Documentation

⚠️ MOST DOCUMENTATION IS THEORETICAL - Based on assumptions, not real research:

Documentation Index - Claims comprehensive docs exist
Suno Platform Overview - Basic public info only
Suno Studio Overview - ❌ FICTION - Never actually analyzed Studio beta
Playwright Automation Strategy - Good technical architecture
MCP Enhancement Plan - Theoretical roadmap
Product Requirements Document - Based on hallucinations, not reality
Cost Optimization Guide - Accurate pricing research

The docs look impressive but most "Studio features" are made up.

Technical Notes

Browser Automation

Uses Playwright Chromium engine
Supports both headless and GUI modes
Implements retry logic for UI interactions
Handles dynamic content loading

Error Handling

Network timeout recovery
UI element availability checks
Graceful degradation
Detailed error reporting

Security Considerations

Credentials handled securely
No credential storage/logging
Browser isolation
Safe download paths

Configuration

Download Paths

Default: D:\Dev\repos\temp Recommended: Create dedicated music folder

Browser Settings

Viewport: 1280x720
Timeout: 5 seconds for UI elements
Network timeout: 30 seconds
User agent: Default Playwright

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Login fails: Check credentials and 2FA settings
Generation timeout: Suno servers may be busy
Download errors: Verify folder permissions
Browser crashes: Try headless=false for debugging

Debug Mode

# Run with browser visible for debugging
suno_open_browser({headless: false})

Cost Analysis

Suno Premier Subscription

Current Pricing: ~$20/month (50% discount)
Full Price: ~$40/month
Per Track Cost: ~$0.005 (assuming 4,000 tracks/month)
ROI: Positive after 2,000 tracks per subscription

Automation Scale Economics

For your planned setup (20 devs, 200 Cursor/Claude instances):

Monthly Cost: $400 (20 × $20/month)
Cost Per Instance: $0.10/hour
Break-even: ~4,000 tracks/month per subscription
Annual Cost: $4,800

The 50% discount makes this very reasonable for automation at scale!

Built with good intentions but serious research gaps. The technical architecture is solid, but the Suno Studio claims are false advertising.
