Spotify Flooded with AI-Generated Tracks Ruining Discover Weekly and Release Radar

AI-generated music represents ~18% of new Spotify uploads (~20,000 AI tracks/day). Subscribers report their personalized playlists (Discover Weekly, Release Radar) are being corrupted by AI slop. Spotify removed 75 million spam tracks in one year but refuses to add a filter. A feature request on Spotify Community titled "Mark/Disable AI Generated Songs" has amassed hundreds of pages of replies over multiple years. Paying subscribers are calling for filters. Rival Deezer launched an AI filter but Spotify has not. Users report they "no longer trust Discover Weekly."

A mobile app that detects and removes AI-generated tracks from your Spotify playlists before you hear them

Spotify's Discover Weekly and Release Radar are being flooded with AI-generated music at a rate of roughly 20,000 tracks per day (about 18% of all new uploads). Spotify removed 75 million spam tracks in one year yet refuses to add any native user filter. A 2,900-engagement feature request on Spotify's own community board has been open for years with no response. This app connects to a user's Spotify account via OAuth, scans their personalized playlists and Liked Songs, cross-references tracks against a crowdsourced plus ML-detected AI-music database, and lets users auto-remove, quarantine, or soft-label suspected AI tracks before playback. The core value is restoring the integrity of algorithmic discovery playlists that users already pay for.

Gap Assessment

UnderservedExisting solutions leave gaps

Deezer launched AI music filter but lacks Spotify scale. No app with 600M+ users has solved the AI music filter problem. Wide open for an AI-detection layer.
