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

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.

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. 🙄🤦‍♂️
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?

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.

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

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.

If I grant permission, how do I revoke it later?
In Apple Music under your avatar in privacy settings, you can go check and revoke "Apps with Access".
