Deezer has released a free online AI music detector that can scan playlists on Apple Music, Spotify, YouTube Music, SoundCloud and 16 other services. Users grant Deezer access to their accounts, the tool imports their playlists, runs a detection model, and flags any tracks that appear to be AI‑generated. Deezer says the service works across 20 platforms and requires no subscription.
The move comes as listeners increasingly wonder whether recommendation algorithms are slipping synthetic songs into their queues. Deezer’s internal data suggests nearly half of users who switch from another service bring AI tracks into their Deezer libraries, so the detector could expose a hidden portion of catalogues. It also puts pressure on platforms that rely on optional transparency tags for AI‑created music.
Whether the tool will become a standard audit feature or just a curiosity remains to be seen, but it signals that AI‑generated content is now a measurable part of the streaming ecosystem.
