Streaming Music Platform Coda Music Unveils Tools to Combat AI-Generated Tunes.
A new player has entered the streaming music landscape in recent months, and Coda Music is determined to differentiate itself from giants like Spotify by addressing another contentious issue: AI-generated music flooding platforms. The company's latest move aims to tackle the growing problem of automated musical compositions being shared on popular platforms.
Coda Music is launching a range of tools designed to identify and label songs generated using artificial intelligence (AI). When artists are added to the platform, Coda will review their music for AI origins, labeling profiles as "AI Artist" if necessary. Users can also flag suspected AI-generated content, which the company will then verify and label accordingly.
The streaming service is also introducing a toggle in settings that allows users to turn off AI-generated music entirely. This feature is seen as a welcome addition, especially considering Coda's stance on transparency regarding its own funding practices. The platform's commitment to not investing in defense technology firms is another differentiator from rival services like Spotify.
Coda Music is also taking steps to improve the financial situation of artists on the platform. Users can now select an "independent or qualifying artist" who receives a portion of their monthly subscription fee, sweetening the deal for musicians.
The company's ambitions extend beyond streaming music to creating a social, community-driven platform where users can share recommendations from human curators rather than algorithms. Coda Music is launching features that enable users to post fan-made playlists and recommended artists in addition to traditional suggestions based on user listening history. The platform also includes a social tab for users to follow their favorite artists and interact with them.
While the new feature may appeal to music enthusiasts, it remains to be seen whether Coda Music can foster a sense of community among its users and artists alike. With a monthly price tag of $11 (or $17 for families), the service is competing with established players in the market. The company's efforts to tackle AI-generated content are a step towards making music streaming more transparent and user-friendly, but only time will tell if these initiatives pay off for Coda Music.
