AI Music on Spotify

CURRENT POSITION

I believe it is possible to publish and monetize music on Spotify using Suno if I follow licensing rules, use a distributor, and treat it like a real music business rather than spam.

KEY ASSUMPTIONS

• A paid Suno plan grants commercial rights to monetize generated music
• Spotify and distributors will accept AI-generated music if it meets quality and originality standards
• Consistent branding and gradual releases reduce the risk of takedowns or bans

SUPPORTING EVIDENCE

• Suno help center: paid subscriptions grant commercial use rights and allow distribution/monetization.
• DistroKid help center: DistroKid accepts AI-created music but requires you to own 100% of rights and forbids impersonation and mass-generated spam.
• The Guardian: Spotify removed millions of spam tracks and is increasing detection/enforcement against AI-generated spam and impersonations.

OPEN QUESTIONS

• Whether Suno’s terms will change and restrict commercial use in the future
• How aggressively Spotify will crack down on AI-generated content over time
• How long it would take to reach meaningful streaming revenue
