The digital music store is introducing transparency labels and removing fully AI-generated music

Traxsource is introducing labels to differentiate music made entirely by humans or with AI assistance.

The digital music store will implement “Human-Made” and “AI-Assisted” labels for music available on the platform from 1st July, while fully AI-generated music will be removed from the catalogue. To make this possible, Traxsource is partnering with AI-detection companies SH Labs and SoundPatrol to classify all music shared to the store.

The labels are a continuation of Traxsource’s stance on AI music, published this past February, which distinguishes between AI-assisted creation and fully AI-generated music. It recognises the technology as a “legitimate production tool” to assist with “sound design, vocal processing, mastering, or creative experimentation,” while maintaining that music only remains an artist’s own when the “musical vision, composition, and artistic direction” are preserved.

To that point, Traxsource is “against” selling “fully AI-generated music” on the platform. “We believe music created entirely through AI prompting where no meaningful human creative contribution exists does not belong on Traxsource”, the team shared. “Our community deserves to know that the music they’re buying, charting, and playing was made by real artists with real creative intent.”

“We envision a future where shopping for music is like shopping for food today, conventional products right next to certified organic, with the choice left to the consumer,” Traxsource co-founder and CTO Marc Pomeroy added in a press statement. “We’re simply using technical means to preserve and uphold organic, human artistry, while keeping the option open for those artists who are pushing the envelope of technology, not wishing to stifle the creative process.”

Traxsource will roll out its “Human-Made” and “AI-Assisted” labels, updated AI policy, and revised Terms of Service on 1st July 2026.

It joins streamers and retailers Apple Music, Deezer, Spotify and YouTube in pledging transparency in labelling music made with AI and removing spam tracks from its platforms.

Earlier this month, Deezer shared a free AI music detection tool to scan playlists for AI-generated music across 20 of the most widely used streaming platforms. This past March, Apple Music launched Transparency Tags to declare AI-generated music (currently an optional feature with intentions to make the tags a requirement in the future).

Digital music store Juno Download suddenly shut down at the beginning of June.
