Global music streaming platform Deezer has announced the launch of an online tool that detects AI-generated music on streaming services. The AI-generated songs detection tool will be available to users for free across 20 music streaming services.
Deezer’s tool comes at a time when AI music slop is flooding streaming services, frustrating many users. The company hopes to make it easier for users to tell whether their personal playlists contain authentic tracks or not.
Key details of the AI-generated music detection tool
Deezer’s AI music detection tool is available in 27 languages. It is also compatible with 20 music streaming services, including Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, YouTube, Amazon Music, Soundcloud, iTunes, Pandora, Last.FM, Boomplay, and others.
You can also manually enter the URL of your song playlist. Additionally, you can upload your playlists to the Deezer AI-detection tool, with several supported file formats, including M3U, M3U8, TXT, CSV, WPL, PLS, XSPF, and XML.

Why did Deezer launch its AI detection tool?
Deezer has released its free tool in response to the growing frustration with AI slop.
According to a survey conducted by Deezer and Ipsos, 80% of individuals want AI music to be labeled clearly, while 73% want the music tagged on streaming platforms. Therefore, the company hopes its tool will address this growing concern that many people have.
“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,” said Alexis Lanternier, Deezer’s CEO.
Deezer also chose to release its tool after a slow uptake when it offered it commercially to 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,” said Lanternier.
Deezer’s AI-detection tool could also help turn the tide against AI music royalty fraud. Recently, there have been several cases of bad actors mass-producing AI songs, which are then streamed by AI bots, siphoning millions in royalties from genuine artists.
