Qobuz now displays a tag alerting users when music has been identified as AI-generated. This added transparency allows users to more easily identify what they are listening to.
60% of streams from tracks identified as AI are currently deemed fraudulent by Qobuz’s anti-fraud systems and are therefore excluded from rights-holders’ royalty payouts
When fraudulent practices are detected, Qobuz applies strict measures: affected streams are excluded from reporting and royalty payments, and the associated content is removed from the catalogue. Qobuz thereby continues its long-standing commitment to fair compensation for artists.

I would love them to add a blocklist of artists or songs as well
I’m so with you on this one. I keep having the same couple of artists that I loathe injected in my random playlists because according to Qobuz they’re similar to the ones I generate playlists based on
Yeah, but what about the linux app that they fucked up?
Which Linux app? I’ve just been using QBZ?
They asked the QBZ dev to stall his efforts. He pushed a final polishing release and obliged, with no hard feelings in the announcement.
The official webapp (installed with PWA for Firefox) doesn’t do too bad of a job either, so I was worried I had to switch again but will use that one for now.
Edit: the announcement
Couldn’t say, seeing as they refuse to even let me subscribe in a bunch of European countries.
They only operate in specific countries https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qobuz
Love using Qobuz, been such a breath of fresh air after the enshittification of Spotify.
Cool! Does Bandcamp have the same?
Excellent news. Meanwhile Tidal seemed to remove the option to even report fraud in their app. Or moved it to someplace less conspicuous?
Tidal turned out to be wildly disappointing except for the audio quality in the unlikely event the app would play anything at all.
“This is my favorite track, it’s called ‘Not Available In Your Region Today’.”
When I tried Tidal basically none of the artists I like had full discographies on the site. Which just didn’t make any sense to me at all. Especially since it was generally their first album that was missing.
I can see it on album pages, at least in desktop. I’ve also seen “AI” tags start popping up (just like the explicit/Atmos tags)
Thanks!
That’s fair. If I want to listen to generated music, make sure I can search for it.
Before you start hammering downvote, notice that I’m in agreement with filtering out the generated tracks. Good music is good music, whether you play it correctly on the centuries-old grand piano, jam out on the guitar and drums, key in the synths on a midi, play a neural net, or a jar of mayonnaise. I don’t want to encourage people to hide how they made their music. If it’s generated, tag it as such. Let the people that actually want to listen decide if it’s slop or serious.
