    How to distribute AI music to Spotify

    1. Export your track

    Download WAV or MP3 from your generator and confirm its current terms allow commercial release of that file. The conditions differ by generator; see the Suno and Udio notes below.

    2. Upload to ONCE

    Add audio plus 3000×3000 cover art. ONCE uses industry-standard detection algorithms to flag songs containing AI, and attaches disclosure metadata to every DSP delivery automatically.

    3. Pay 2 credits, go live

    Pick stores and a release date. Pay 2 credits once for an AI release. Most tracks are live on Spotify within 24–72 hours. Stays up forever.

    Check your generator's terms first

    A generator's permission to release a track comes from its terms, not from ONCE. These are the two most common cases. For any other generator, check the platform's current terms.

    Suno

    Yes, with conditions. Suno permits commercial use of a track only when it was created on a paid plan (Pro or Premier) and obtained as a permitted download within that plan's monthly download allocation.

    Udio

    Not under Udio's current terms. Output may be used only for personal, non-commercial purposes and cannot be downloaded, on every plan.

    Frequently asked

    What is AI music distribution?

    AI music distribution is the process of releasing AI-generated tracks to streaming platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon Music. ONCE distributes music from Suno and other AI generators whose terms allow commercial release to all major streaming platforms for a flat 2 credits per AI release, with a 0% royalty cut from ONCE and automatic AI disclosure.

    How to distribute AI music to Spotify?

    First confirm the generator's terms allow commercial release of the file: Suno requires a permitted download on a Pro or Premier plan, and Udio's current terms do not allow downloads or commercial use. Then export your track as WAV or MP3, prepare 3000×3000 cover art, and upload to ONCE. The distribution agent walks you through metadata, ISRC assignment, store selection, and AI disclosure. Pay 2 credits once for an AI release. Most tracks go live on Spotify within 24–72 hours.

    How much does AI music distribution cost on ONCE?

    2 credits per AI release, paid once, distributed forever. Human-recorded songs are 1 credit per release. No subscriptions, no annual renewals, no revenue share. Roughly 92% of every AI credit funds the Artist Compensation Fund.

    Which AI music generators does ONCE support?

    ONCE accepts AI-generated audio in WAV, FLAC, or MP3 from any generator, but you must hold the rights to release it, and each generator's terms differ. Suno needs a permitted download on Pro or Premier. Udio's current terms allow no downloads or commercial use. Loudly and Beatoven.ai do not allow release through a third-party distributor. Mureka, ElevenLabs, Boomy, AIVA, Soundraw, Tad.ai, and Google Flow Music allow it only on specific plans or conditions. See the generator table in our AI music copyright guide.

    Do I keep my royalties on AI music?

    Yes. Artists keep 100% of their music rights, and ONCE takes 0% of streaming royalties on every release, AI or human. There is no revenue share.

    What makes ONCE different from DistroKid or TuneCore for AI music?

    ONCE is built for AI music from the ground up: automatic AI detection, mandatory DSP disclosure metadata, pay-once pricing (2 credits AI / 1 credit human), a 0% royalty cut forever, and the Artist Compensation Fund that routes most of every AI credit to working musicians. No annual subscription required to keep tracks live.
