Spotify Prepares AI Tool for Users to Create Custom Song Versions

Spotify is working on an AI tool to allow users to create custom versions of songs, but Premium subscribers will have to pay extra for the service. The tool will use AI to modify existing recordings, giving users a new way to experience their favorite songs. However, the service will not be included in the standard Premium subscription, and users will have to pay an additional fee to access it. The exact price is not yet known, but it is expected to be around $4-5 per month. The service is expected to be available in the US in the first quarter of 2027, but there is no word on whether it will be available in Spain at launch. The AI tool will only be available for songs that have been explicitly approved by the artists, and the company is negotiating with major record labels to secure the necessary permissions. The service will also include a system to generate revenue for the original artists, with custom versions appearing in playlists and contributing to their chart performance.
