The AI music detector, hosted on Deezer’s website, can analyze up to 100 playlists per user and works across every streaming service, according to the company.
Users select their streaming service and let Deezer scan their playlists, and are then shown how many of the tracks have been flagged as fully AI-generated.
The scanner sits alongside a prompt inviting users to import their existing music library to Deezer for free.
The consumer-facing tool extends to listeners a detection system that Deezer has until now deployed inside its own platform and licensed to industry partners.
The Paris-headquartered company first launched its AI detection tool in January 2025, and says it became the first streaming service to tag fully AI-generated music at the platform level in June 2025.
It expanded that effort in March through its revamped Deezer for Business unit, and named Hungarian performers’ rights body EJI as a licensee later that month.
The free scanner draws on the same data Deezer has used to make its case on AI music to the industry.
That is up from the 60,000 tracks a day the company reported in January, when synthetic content represented 39% of deliveries.
Deezer says it detected and tagged more than 13.4 million AI tracks over the course of 2025, and that up to 85% of streams on AI-generated music are fraudulent.
Consumption of fully AI-generated music on the platform remains between 1% and 3% of total streams, according to the company.
“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.”

“By detecting and tagging AI generated music over the past year and a half, Deezer has been at the forefront of transparency in music streaming,” said Alexis Lanternier, CEO, Deezer.
“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.

We’re expecting our AI music detector to be an eye-opening experience for listeners around the world.”
Deezer says the detector identifies fully AI-generated music from models such as Suno and Udio, and puts its accuracy at 99.8%.
The consumer pitch leans on a Deezer-commissioned survey published in November, which found that 97% of respondents could not tell fully AI-generated tracks from human-made music in a blind listening test.
That same survey found that 80% of respondents agreed fully AI-generated music should be clearly labeled, while 73% said they want to know if their streaming platform is recommending synthetic tracks.
“The survey results clearly show that people care about music and want to know if they’re listening to AI or human made tracks or not,” Lanternier said when the research was published.
Other major services have taken different routes to AI transparency, with Apple Music launching label-declared Transparency Tags in March. Spotify, meanwhile, announced in September that it would support the new DDEX industry standard for AI disclosures in music credits – a plan that was updated in April with the launch of a beta feature allowing labels and distributors to submit AI-use credits that appear in Song Credits on mobile.
Fully AI-generated tracks are excluded from algorithmic recommendations and editorial playlists on Deezer, and the company demonetizes streams it identifies as fraudulent.Music Business Worldwide
