"Those royalties are going to the artists that listeners love, that they’re listening to, artists that we all love, those verified artists, those human, authentic artists.
"When we look at the sort of entirely AI-generated music that people worry about, music that’s industrially produced, less human input, we see [and] every other streaming service sees well under 1 per cent of consumption is going to those tracks.
"Listeners don’t want it … and we’re really seeing low consumption there.
“What we’re hearing from fans and what we’re seeing on our service is people want to listen to and are seeking out authentic human music.”
How about an option to block that AI content from search results completely?
Of course! For an additional 5.99 a month you‘ll be able to hide AI content*!
*Unless the artist/label pays us to show it to you anyway.

Or from being inserted into every playlist.
Doesn’t really work if the people posting music slop don’t even mark it as ai.
Had to google some bands to see what was up with them and all I got was people asking if it was ai. That’s the only way to find out sometimes.
So I guess this option lets you at least know that it’s not ai that you’re listening to.
A lot of the AI music was made/ordered by Spotify themselves, and they were paying themselves for it while taking away money from legit artists.
I cancelled my years long subscription to Spotify because they were intentionally feeding me AI music alongside real artists in generated playlists. Every now and then you’d check the artist and there would be no bio or any info online about who was playing the current song.
I’ll never give a single cent to Spotify ever again.
Human music. I like it
no i won’t. cancelled shitify years ago.
No, I won’t. Because I don’t use Spotify. Puts on sunglasses
But seriously, I think it’s dumb that streaming services don’t just outright ban songs entirely made with AI.
Glad I canceled Spotify and went back to trackers and CDs.
Every story I hear about them just makes it sound worse.
I set up a navidrome server. It’s been great to be more intentional about my listening habits, even though my excuse was previously that I didn’t have time to make playlists and whatnot. I’ve heard so many songs that I haven’t listened to since college, when I switched to YT Music.
I hope by “CDs” you mean CDs bought directly from the artists.
Oh, so this is what the name means. Long time coming.
