Spotify bets big on AI music as subscribers rise, stock dips

Spotify reported 777 million total users and 300 million paid subscribers, while increasing AI-related spending as it rolls out new AI features. It introduced Talk to Spotify and is partnering with Universal Music Group and Merlin to enable AI-generated remixes and covers with real artists, emphasizing consent, credit, and compensation. The tool will be a paid add-on and will launch as a “research preview” when ready; the company is also adding friction to the free tier with more ads to push paid subscriptions. The stock fell about 8% at market close.

Sony escalates Udio copyright battle with new training-data lawsuit

Sony filed a separate lawsuit against AI music generator Udio alleging it used 30,117 copyrighted recordings without permission to train its models. A court previously rejected adding those recordings to Sony’s 2024 complaint but allowed infringement claims for all copyrighted works; Udio reportedly ripped training data from YouTube (which it says is fair use), while Universal and Warner have licensing deals with Udio and Sony remains unlicensed. Sony seeks a jury trial and up to $150,000 in statutory damages per infringed work, with the case involving tracks linked to artists such as Alicia Keys, Dolly Parton, Elvis Presley, Beyoncé, Bob Dylan, Britney Spears and Michael Jackson; The Verge has the list of songs involved.

Suno says the incident was limited, involving outdated code and did not compromise sensitive personal data or full credit card numbers.

AI-made Suno slop pulls listeners away from real music

Terrence O’Brien investigates a Suno AI trend in which Reddit users listen almost exclusively to AI-generated music and even abandon traditional streaming platforms; few on-record interviews leave the reasons unclear, but posts claim AI tracks better match their tastes and allow exploration of far-out genres. The piece weighs theories of narcissism versus laziness as motivations—leaning toward laziness and the lure of instant gratification—while framing AI-generated music as part of a broader struggle to discover music amid overwhelming choices and algorithmic curation, with questions about the future of art and human musicians.
