Coda Music Launches AI Music Filtering Tools, Aims to Redefine Artist Compensation
LOS โขANGELES, CA – Streaming music platformโ Coda music has begun rolling out new features allowing users to identify and โคfilterโฃ out AI-generated music, available now in its iOS and Android apps. The move comes as theโ company together pushes for a more equitable streamingโ model โขfor artists.
Coda music distinguishes โคitself from competitors by โฃoffering tools to label AI-generated tracks and block them from user feeds. This feature addresses growing concerns about the proliferation of artificial intelligence-created โmusic on streamingโ services.
Beyondโ AI filtering, Coda is โattempting to address the long-standing issue of low artist payouts. The company states it currently pays the “highest per-stream rate” in the industry, but acknowledges that streaming โคalone doesn’t provide sufficient income for musicians.”The real problem isn’t how much is paid per stream, it’s that streaming alone doesn’t pay enough,” the company’s website explains. “And โminor improvements to a fundamentally flawed per stream model will not help.”
To supplement stream revenue, Coda allows users to directly support artists by allocating $1 โof their monthly subscription fee to โan “independent orโฃ qualifying artist” of their choice.
Coda also differentiates itself through a social-focused approach, aiming to create a music-sharing feed driven โby โhuman recommendations rather than algorithms. The app’s home page features fan-made playlists and user โrecommendations, alongside algorithmic suggestions. Users can share songs, artists, albums, external links, and photos withinโข the platform, and artists are encouraged to actively engage and shareโค content. This approach is reminiscent of Amazon Music’s recently launched Fan Groups feature.
Coda Music is currently available for $11 per month for individual subscriptions and $17โค per month for family plans supporting โup to four listeners. A web interface is currently under development.
