Deezer has released a free tool that scans playlists across any major streaming service to identify AI-generated music. The move comes after the platform became the first major streamer to label AI content.

The detector works on playlists from Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, and other platforms, addressing growing concerns about AI-generated tracks flooding streaming services. Deezer pioneered AI music labeling among major streaming platforms and offered its detection technology to competitors. Few took the offer. Qobuz developed independent detection technology, while Spotify and Apple implemented voluntary tagging systems instead. With limited industry adoption of its tech, Deezer opened access to users across all platforms. The free tool lets anyone upload or link their playlists to scan for AI-generated content. The move reflects broader industry tensions around AI music. While some see detection as essential consumer transparency, others argue mandatory labeling could unfairly stigmatize legitimate AI-assisted music. The debate continues as AI tools become increasingly sophisticated and easier to use.
