Spotify May Soon Charge You Extra to Remix Songs Using AI

Spotify is rumored to be developing a new feature that would allow users to generate AI-assisted versions of existing songs, according to a Financial Times report. The service would be an optional add-on for Spotify Premium subscribers, costing an estimated $4 to $5 extra per month. The AI-powered tool would enable users to create remixes and covers of songs from participating artists, with permission from both the record labels and the artists themselves.

Spotify plans to integrate the feature into playlists, with streams of AI remixes potentially contributing to the original songs' chart positions. The company has already secured licensing deals with Universal Music Group, Merlin, Kobalt, and Believe, but is still negotiating with Sony Music and Warner Music. Initial availability is expected in the first quarter of 2027, potentially around the Grammy Awards in February, though the final price and launch date remain unconfirmed.
