Big news in the world of streaming: Deezer has become the first platform to clearly label albums that include fully AI-generated tracks. If you’ve been wondering how to tell the difference between human-created music and AI content, this is a game changer.


We have recently launched a powerful AI detection tool, and the results are wild—about 18% of music uploaded each day (over 20,000 tracks!) is now fully AI-generated. While most of these tracks don’t go viral, Deezer found that around 70% of their streams are fake, often uploaded to exploit royalty systems.
 

To fight back, we are taking a bold step:

  • AI-generated tracks are now clearly tagged so listeners know what they’re hearing.
  • These tracks won’t show up in editorial playlists or algorithm-based recommendations.
  • And most importantly, fraudulent streams are being filtered out of royalty payments.
     

 

For now, AI-only songs make up just 0.5% of all streams on Deezer, but the trend is growing fast, and with this new tagging system, Deezer is setting a precedent for how streaming platforms can handle the rise of AI music responsibly.


What do you think? Should other platforms keep it real and tag AI music too?

 

 

 

It’s okay to single out music that wasn’t created by humans.
Music generated by artificial intelligence will never be like music composed by human, but artificial intelligence can help people to improve or modify certain music.

It would be good if other platforms also have tagged AI music .

 

 


Great !!! ✔️
That way, no one can feel cheated. Whether they like it or not is another matter, but they can no longer feel cheated.

 

 

 


I think it's a good development from Deezer to add this. This way you remain transparent and honest about what you offer as music.AI is certainly not wrong to use; I also use it occasionally for my work. But as a tool. So I applaud that Deezer has added this option.


Will this also be available for the MacApp at some point? 


I'd really like you to tag it and then remove it from the platform completely. I have plenty of human music to listen to already. I don't need this slop in my life!


Honestly with all the AI thing getting improved in the last 2 years ‘ it’s a welcomed addition . 


Great idea, better still to remove all AI generated music from Deezer completely, let’s keep music real for us humans.

Most definitely, all platforms should tag AI music


Sometimes AI-generated music sounds better, but I don’t support AI in music at all. I’m sure certain platforms famous for their green logo and endless playlists will push AI content to avoid paying royalties 😅


I've never listened to an AI generated track. Has anyone got a link to test ?


See this new release by an AI-generated band called “The Velvet Sundown”:
 

 

 

I can see the info about AI content in the web player with English language settings, but I do not see it in my desktop app using German language yet. The mobile apps should also show it.

For me it shows in Croatian and German and of course in English too

 


Desktop app or web player? By the way, it is possible to block the artist from being played or recommended both on Deezer and Spotify where I scrobbled it last week from their Discover Weekly playlist. This is how it looks when you have excluded the artist from your recommendations in the Deezer desktop app:

 

This is how it looks in the Spotify web player when you have enabled “Don’t play this artist” in the dropdown menu:

 


Just joined Deezer exactly because of this technology. Have 2 months in my premium trial. I can see the “AI-generated content” tag in my iOS app.  

However, I’m not seeing the “AI-generated content” tag like I should in the Mac desktop app in the US. Would really like to see this in all environments.

 

 


Then I guess it is not visible in the desktop app, no matter if Windows or macOS, only in the web player and mobile apps.

And offering an option to automatically exclude all AI-generated artists from your recommendations would be nice to have, at the moment you have to do it manually in the dropdown menu on every AI artist profile.
