Local File Upload

music cover and image create support local file references. The CLI automatically detects local paths, validates format and size, and uploads to cloud storage before passing to the API.

# Local audio file for cover (mp3, wav, flac, m4a, ogg, aac; max 20MB)
listenhub music cover --audio ./song.mp3

# Local image for reference (jpg, png, webp, gif; max 10MB)
listenhub image create --prompt "inspired by this" --reference ./photo.jpg

# URLs are passed through directly
listenhub music cover --audio https://example.com/song.mp3

Authentication

ListenHub CLI uses OAuth. Run listenhub auth login to open a browser window for authorization. Tokens are stored at ~/.config/listenhub/credentials.json (or $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/listenhub/).

Tokens auto-refresh when nearing expiry. Run listenhub auth status to check.

Examples

Music generation

# Generate with style and title
listenhub music generate --prompt "Upbeat electronic dance" --style "EDM" --title "Night Drive"

# Instrumental only
listenhub music generate --prompt "Peaceful piano melody" --instrumental

# Cover from local file
listenhub music cover --audio ./original.mp3 --title "My Remix"

# Get task ID without waiting
