How does AI music get to Spotify? Though distributors! But every single one has a different rule on how it handles AI music. We mapped out the strictest -> permissive. Strict 🔴 • CDBaby - not allowed (even partially generated) • Tunecore - 100% AI not allowed. Creative use is okay. • AWAL - Fully generated not allowed. Human review for creative uses. Allowed (with disclosure) 🟠 • Distrokid - Now requires a mandatory disclosure. • Too Lost - Disclosure and proof of commercial use. • Soundcloud - Disclosure and proof docs. • OneRPM - Disclosure and explanation of how AI was used. Allowed (with limited distribution) 🟠 • Amuse - AI music cannot be delivered to Meta or YouTube Content ID. • United Masters - No delivery to TikTok or Meta. Permitted 🟢 • Ditto - Permits whatever rules the DSPs set. • ONCE - AI music allowed with an extra surcharge that goes to an artist fund.
