Deezer launches free AI music detector tool

Deezer has launched a free online tool that allows users to check whether their playlists contain AI-generated music, expanding its efforts to label and detect synthetic tracks across streaming platforms.

The tool, available in 27 languages, lets users connect accounts from major music streaming services and scan playlists for AI-generated songs. The company said the move aims to improve transparency as AI-created music continues to spread across digital platforms.

How the AI music detector works

Users can access the tool through Deezer’s website and follow a simple process:

Select a supported music streaming service
Connect their account
Allow Deezer to scan playlists
View and share results

The launch comes as AI-generated music becomes more common across streaming platforms.

Deezer said nearly 43% of users joining from other streaming services already have AI-generated songs in their playlists.

The company also said it receives about 75,000 AI-generated tracks every day, representing a growing share of daily uploads. It added that more than 13.4 million AI-generated tracks were detected and tagged on its platform in 2025.

However, fully AI-generated music still accounts for only 1% to 3% of total streams on Deezer.

Why Deezer is pushing detection tools

Deezer said its goal is to improve transparency in music streaming and help users understand what they are listening to.

The company also cited user demand. A survey commissioned with Ipsos across eight countries found:

80% of respondents want AI-generated music clearly labelled
73% want streaming platforms to tag AI music in recommendations
52% believe fully AI songs should not appear in mainstream charts
97% could not distinguish AI music from human-made tracks in blind tests

The survey included 9,000 respondents across the US, Canada, Brazil, UK, France, Netherlands, Germany and Japan.

Deezer said songs identified as fully AI-generated are removed from algorithmic recommendations and excluded from editorial playlists.

The company said this is intended to prevent synthetic content from influencing recommendations and distorting royalty distribution.

It also said it removes or excludes streams linked to suspected manipulation, noting that up to 85% of streams from fully AI-generated tracks may involve fraudulent activity.

Deezer said it was the first music streaming platform to detect and label AI-generated music, beginning its tagging system in early 2025.
