Now, in an iconic "hold my beer" move, Deezer has just launched something to give you a stat you'll really want to brag about. The streaming service has unveiled an online music detector, which it calls... the AI music detector
(no zingy names here). It's an online site that can link up to your streaming service of choice to quickly scan all of your playlists and tell you how much of your tracks are AI-generated. It takes literally a minute or so to do although in TechRadar's tests, Apple Music libraries took the longest. Latest Videos From Watch full video here:

Naturally, the goal is to either prove that you listen to no AI slop, or, if you receive a shock diagnosis, work out where these 'songs' are so you can treat the offensive condition. Deezer makes no secret that it'd be chuffed if you'd transfer all those playlists after the scan and thus sign up for its service yourself and AI avoiders might find that ideal, since Deezer tags AI music (so you'd know what that offending 1% was, say).

To work out if this AI music detector is any good, and hopefully boast about my clean AI-free record, I booted up the tool and linked it to my Spotify account.

The streamer finally starts a counteroffensive Spotify user creates tool to filter AI-generated music out
of their sessions Livin' On A PrAIyer (Image credit: Deezer) I was already pretty confident that I don't listen to any AI music it'd be pretty hard to when 90% of your music taste is from the noughties but as an outspoken anti-AI-er, it bears checking.

It was really quick to pair the Free AI music checker by Deezer to my Spotify account, and it took less than a minute to comb through my libraries. Colleagues who've checked via other streaming services, particularly Apple Music, report longer wait times (and even one crash before it worked), but
for Spotify and Tidal it was simple. Get daily insight, inspiration and deals in your inbox Sign up for breaking news, reviews, opinion, top tech deals,

The Deezer tool quickly returned the score I was expecting: 0% AI. Nice. It even let me save a little badge to post on socials.

Some people on TR's team received a 1% AI score, much to their chagrin, and
it did raise some questions. Firstly: which song? They weren't told, and so weeding out that errant strand of slop was way harder than it might be, if it were simply disclosed. Perhaps the only way to find out is to transfer your playlist over to Deezer, which the tool is very keen to help you with

Secondly, where was this AI track found? It's not 100% clear, but the Deezer tool most likely checks your custom-made 'static' playlists only, rather than algorithmically-generated ones which you have no control over (or even other people's which you've saved).

Even though it'll still leave some users with as many questions as answers
(is that 1% lurking somewhere in your hyperpop playlist?) it's great to see Deezer forging ahead in its war on AI-generated music. The best music players for all budgets Our top picks, based on real-world testing and comparisons
