Suno is now letting users press their AI music slop to vinyl, thus alienating streaming services, artists and audiophiles

AI-driven music platform Suno has introduced a vinyl pressing service specifically for its generated tracks. This move has sparked controversy among audiophiles, artists, and streaming services. Despite the eco-friendly claim, the use of vinyl records is considered sacred by many, with their inherent imperfections adding warmth and authenticity to the listening experience.

Suno allows users to produce up to 46 minutes of music per creation, purchasable for $45, with a limit of one record per creation. For those who value the analog format, this could be seen as a devaluation of the beloved medium. Still, there is a potential silver lining: Suno's offerings may encourage users to discover the joys of traditional records and explore older, AI-free albums.

However, interest in Suno appears to be declining, possibly due to growing resistance against AI-generated music. Streaming services such as Deezer, Qobuz, and Spotify are also taking steps to curb the proliferation of AI music. Ultimately, the decision to support or reject Suno's vinyl initiative lies with the individual, but one thing is certain: no AI-generated record will find its way onto my turntable.
