Deezer's new tool lets users scan Spotify, Apple Music and other platforms for AI‑generated tracks, aiming to curb fraudulent streams and improve royalty

Deezer has unveiled a free online tool that scans playlists on Spotify, Apple Music and about 20 other streaming services to flag tracks that are fully generated by artificial intelligence [2]. The French platform says the detector, built on technology it has used internally since early 2025, is now available to any user who connects their account and authorises a scan.  

**Key takeaways**  
- The detector identifies fully AI‑generated songs from tools such as Suno and Udio [2]  
- Deezer reports receiving roughly 75,000 AI‑generated uploads daily, representing over 44 % of new tracks on its platform [3]  
- The company estimates that 1‑3 % of streams are AI‑generated, but up to 85 % of those streams were fraudulent bot activity [3]  
- Deezer is licensing the detection technology to other music‑industry players after an earlier partnership with France’s royalty agency Sacem [1]  
- A survey commissioned by Deezer found 80 % of respondents want AI‑generated music clearly labelled, while 97 % could not distinguish AI tracks in blind tests [2]  

## Free detector rolls out to rival platforms  
Deezer’s tool works like a quick audit: users visit a dedicated page, select their streaming service, link their account and let the system scan their playlists [2]. The service supports 27 languages and can flag tracks that are entirely AI‑generated, though it does not detect songs where AI is only one instrument among many [2]. According to Deezer, the detector has already highlighted that 43 % of people who switch to Deezer from another service have AI tracks in their libraries [2].  

The launch follows Deezer’s earlier move in June 2025 to label AI‑generated music on its own catalog and to strip such tracks from its editorial recommendations [3]. By removing fraudulent streams from artist payouts, Deezer says it is protecting royalty revenue that could otherwise be siphoned by bots and stream farms [3]. The company also positions the free tool as a competitive jab at rivals, noting recent controversies over AI‑created “artists” on platforms like Spotify [2].  

## Licensing the technology beyond Deezer  
Beyond offering the detector to consumers, Deezer is extending its AI‑detection capabilities to the broader music industry. The firm has begun licensing the technology after a prior agreement with France’s collective rights organization Sacem earlier this year [1]. This move aims to help other labels and streaming services manage royalty payments more accurately as AI‑generated content floods the market.  

## Why it matters  
The proliferation of AI‑generated music threatens both listener trust and the economics of the music ecosystem. Deezer’s data suggest that while AI tracks constitute a small share of actual streams, a large portion of those streams are fraudulent, potentially diverting millions in royalties [3]. By providing a free detection tool and licensing the underlying technology, Deezer seeks to increase transparency for listeners and give rights holders a way to safeguard earnings. The initiative also highlights growing industry pressure to label AI content, a demand reflected in Deezer’s own survey results [2]. As other platforms grapple with similar challenges, Deezer’s approach may set a precedent for how the music industry confronts the rise of synthetic songs.
