'''Music''' is the common name of a series of [[music]] creation programs created by Jester Interactive and published by [[Codemasters]]. The programs are not strictly [[computer and video games]], but rather tools that allow the user to create music. This can be done either by inserting pre-made [[riff]]s and other sound samples, or creating original riffs by composing using musical notation ([[piano roll]]). It is also possible to create a [[music video]] to play along with the created music.

==Handheld versions==
Jester has also released portable versions of its program for the [[Game Boy Color]] and [[Game Boy Advance]], both titled '''Pocket Music''', neither of which was released outside Europe. The Game Boy Color version is considered to be the superior of the two. The Game Boy Advance version, despite having better sound quality, was a disappointment because of its sluggish control mechanics and some memory quirks making the piano roll a chore to use.
The Game Boy Advance version featured samples from the song "My Name Is" by [[Eminem]].
==Jester VS MixMax versions==
After the release of '''MTV Music Generator 2''', Jester ended its business relationship with Codemasters. Codemasters continued on with the MTV brand, releasing '''MTV Music Generator 3: This is the Remix''' in [[2004]], created by developer [[MixMax]]. "MTV Music Generator 3: This is the Remix" was released for the [[PlayStation 2]] and [[Microsoft]] [[Xbox]] consoles.
There are a notable differences between Codemasters' MTV Music Generator 3 and Jester's MTV Music Generator 2/Music 3000. Codemasters simplified the more pro-end composition elements present in MTV Music Generator 2, delivering an interface and feature set more relevant to the DJ/Arranger crowd. Some elements of MTV Music Generator 3 were more powerful than previous iterations such as dynamic effect curve capabilities, and ripping from the Xbox harddrive. These features were presented in a more accessible format than the Jester iterations. Music 3000, on the other hand, was significantly more complex having more powerful composition and sampling capabilities.
