Deezer has launched a free online AI music detector that checks playlists from 20 major streaming platforms for AI-generated tracks. It uses the same technology Deezer has been using to detect and tag synthetic music on its own service.

The tool is available in 27 languages, and it arrives as Deezer says nearly 75,000 AI-generated tracks are being delivered to it every day. That volume gives the launch a sharper edge than a simple playlist cleanup feature. It’s a way to put synthetic-song detection in front of listeners before the rest of streaming settles on common rules.

How much AI music is hiding in playlists

Deezer says 43% of people arriving from other streaming services already have AI-generated music in their playlists. For listeners, the new scanner answers a basic question that most platforms still don’t surface clearly.

Users connect a streaming account, choose playlists, and review the results. Because the scanner works across 20 common services, Deezer can get its detection system in front of people who don’t use its app.

That stance lands while major music apps are testing how far they want to go with generative tools, including Spotify’s experiments around AI-made covers and remixes. Deezer is focusing on the cleanup job that follows, identifying AI songs after they’ve already entered a library.

Why would the industry license Deezer’s detector

Deezer says its detection technology can identify tracks from major generative music models, including Suno and Udio. It can also be expanded when the company has enough data examples from other tools.

The company says it has made progress on a broader system designed to catch synthetic content without a model-specific training set. That gives Deezer a business case beyond the public playlist scanner. It wants platforms, labels, distributors, and rights groups to use the same underlying technology to spot machine-made tracks before they distort discovery or payment systems.

What happens after AI tracks are tagged

Deezer says fully AI-generated music makes up only 1% to 3% of streams on its service, but it also says as much as 85% of those streams were fraudulent in 2025. When Deezer finds stream manipulation, it excludes those plays from royalty payments.

The company has already removed AI-generated tracks from algorithmic recommendations and editorial playlists. Broader steps, including supplier policy changes or demonetization, are still under review. For listeners and the industry, Deezer’s practical message is clear. Detection has to happen before trust, royalties, and recommendations can be cleaned up.

As the rise of AI-generated music on streaming services continues, concerns are growing regarding how AI companies use copyrighted material to train their models, as well as how potential manipulations in streaming systems could lead to fraud.

However, many music streaming services have yet to launch AI music detection tools. So, the streamer Deezer has taken matters into its own hands.

In the ongoing effort to tackle this issue, Deezer introduced a tool that scans playlists from various streaming platforms to identify AI-generated tracks. Announced on Thursday, this free online AI music detector supports 27 languages and gives users from 20 of the most popular platforms the chance to see if their playlists include any AI-generated songs.

The launch further positions Deezer as one of the music industry’s most aggressive opponents of AI music, which could be a selling point for its service among consumers. While rivals like Apple Music and Spotify have opted for a tagging approach, Deezer actively removes AI tracks from recommendations and excludes them from editorial playlists. It also recently began offering its AI detection technology to rival platforms.

To use the new tool, go to Deezer’s AI music detector website, select your streaming service, and allow Deezer to access your playlists. Once you import your playlists, the service scans for AI content, notifies you of any findings, and even offers the option to share the results. The tool is compatible with Spotify, Apple Music, SoundCloud, and YouTube Music, among other platforms. 

“By detecting and tagging AI-generated music over the past year and a half, Deezer has been at the forefront of transparency in music streaming. 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,” CEO Alexis Lanternier said in a statement.

Notably, the company revealed in today’s announcement that it is carefully considering future steps, such as updating supplier policies or removing content. This would follow in Bandcamp’s footsteps, which banned AI music earlier this year. 

The launch of the new tool comes on the heels of Deezer revealing that a staggering 44% of all new music uploaded to its platform is AI-generated.

The company is currently being flooded with nearly 75,000 AI-generated tracks daily, which totals over two million each month. Despite this influx, the listening rate for AI-generated music remains relatively low, accounting for just 1-3% of total streams. Around 85% of these streams are flagged as fraudulent and are demonetized by the platform.
