Deezer Launches AI Music Detector for Apple Music, Spotify, and More

[MacRumors]

French music platform Deezer has launched a free online tool that can detect AI-generated tracks in Apple Music playlists, as well as playlists created on other streaming platforms.

"No other company has followed our lead yet, so we decided to make it possible for everyone to check if their playlists include synthetic music, no matter which streaming platform they use," Deezer CEO Alexis Lanternier said in a press release. "A vast majority of people want to know if AI music is being recommended to them and our data show that nearly half of the users joining Deezer from another platform have AI tracks in their playlists. We're expecting our AI music detector to be an eye-opening experience for listeners around the world."

The tool works with 20 different platforms including Spotify, SoundCloud, and YouTube Music. To use it, visit Deezer's AI music detector site, select your streaming service, then grant Deezer permission to access it. The tool will import your playlists, scan them for AI content, and alert you of any suspicious-sounding tracks.

Apple in March rolled out a metadata system called Transparency Tags, which indicates when AI has been used in the creation of music hosted on the platform. The only problem is that the tags are optional, so Apple is basically asking artists and record labels to voluntarily label songs that were made using AI.

Deezer reports that it receives over 60,000 fully AI-generated tracks per day, with synthetic content now accounting for roughly 39% of all music delivered to the platform. Up to 85% of streams on AI-generated music were fraudulent in 2025, according to Deezer's data.

AI = **** as a Service.

Well that’s frustrating, it just gave me a percentage score of 1% AI. I just want to know what it is so I can eliminate it!

 

[rikki_t]

Would be quicker to just name the three tracks still on Spotify that aren't AI generated surely ?

Same, I think it’s just more a way to get music interest of competitor’s users and plan better marketing campaigns lol

I can detect AI music usually within a few notes, though some have slipped by of course. I was curious about my library. I know I have one track that I've said "**** it, it's a banger" but I wanted to know if there were others that I missed.

Was disappointed to find out this tool doesn't actually tell you anything. What a waste.

If I grant permission, how do I revoke it later?

 

[bLackjackj]

Who cares how the music was created ??
AI, autotune, digital customisation, synth..doesn’t really matter. What a waste of time.

Music is music, either you like a song for its catch, tune or lyrics or you don’t!

This is so cringe,..Nobody asked for a music filter from deezer. 🙄🤦‍♂️

What a scam. “…then grant Deezer permission to access it.”
What a roundabout way to get to scrape your data.
A real tool would be something like Shazam that listens live as the track is playing.

I care. Lots of people care. Why? We don’t support effortless lazy prompts. If I’m paying for something, I want to know actual effort, craft, and thought was put in. I’d rather my money go to an actual artist than someone disguised as one just trying to make a quick buck.
Are you kidding me?

Why? If you like the song are you going to delete it in rage if you find out there is AI? AI art is trash. Compete with it and stop crying.

In Apple Music under your avatar in privacy settings, you can go check and revoke "Apps with Access".

I couldn't care less if the song is AI or not. If I like the song, I'll listen to it on repeat, no matter if it's AI or not. Those getting bent out of shape over AI music being in their playlists need to get a hobby. Yes, I said it. You're welcome to disagree. I won't reply, but you're welcome to disagree and tag this post and make a big deal out of it. Like I said, I won't reply because I honestly don't care. Lol

Exactly. It's no different than wallet companies having to reinvent because digital wallets have replaced them.

Interesting to see these AI tools. Will try it out.

Music, as any art form, is supposed to be about human creation and expression. When you realise you're listening to synthetic "content", it takes away all the enjoyment and respect. You're left with nothing because you're not connecting with anyone, it's all hollow and lifeless. If this really is the new era of music, I won't be part of it as a listener. I'll stick to music humanity created prior to giving up on itself.

Thanks, appreciate the help.

I don't care who makes my music as long as it's what I wanna hear. Just as I don't care if the artist is male, female, or anything else under the sun.

Oh come on. That's the same silliness people said about electronically-created music. EDM, etc isn't real music because it's not created with real instruments. That's just goofy. People did the same with digital art too. It's nothing more than an attempt at gatekeeping.

The automobile will kill off the horse stable industry. I refuse to be part of it!

Nice. These clowns passing AI tracks as organic works is ridiculous. It takes almost no skill to make AI music and to put it against songs that were created by people who at least had to learn some sort of musical skill shouldn't be allowed. Plus, we know that AI uses previous artist's (humans) work as a template for creating songs.

Apple is on the right path by indicating which tracks are AI. Hopefully there will be a time when you can omit AI songs from Apple generated playlists.

Then there's the grey area where artists are using AI for parts of their songs. That's going to be difficult. The issue of AI in general is a difficult topic to navigate around. It should be interesting (and scary) to see how AI plays out as society hedonistically tries to monetize this technology.

 

[AppleDude]

I don't understand the concern- it's not like you're going to get cancer from listening to AI-generated music😂 If AI learns my music tastes and produces music I enjoy, why would I ban it?

Exactly, but some people will trip over themselves screaming from the rooftops that they don’t care and anyone who cares is a loser

The process of creating is the whole point of creativity, it’s not even that hard of a concept

Thank goodness for this technology – I look forward to finally determining whether my playlist includes an acoustic violin or merely an oscillator from 1973.

If I'm paying for something, I want to know it's worth it to me--it makes no difference how much time, effort, or materials someone put into it. None of that impacts an object's utility for me.
