Suno Launches AI Music Generator Trained on Licensed Tracks

Suno has officially launched the sixth iteration of its AI music generator, developed in partnership with major record labels like Warner Music Group, BMG, and Believe.

This latest model is exclusively trained on licensed data, a move linked to ongoing legal challenges from copyright holders. Just before the release of version six, Suno acknowledged its previous practice of collecting data from YouTube videos.

The new update offers three variations of the neural network:

• v6 — the primary version available to Pro and Premier subscribers, known for its adherence to prompts and consistent output;
• v6-wild — a creative variant for paid users that produces unconventional and surprising musical compositions;
• v6-mini — a free, basic version accessible to all users.

Enhancements in this version focus on user control over music creation. New editing features include:

• point edits: allows users to modify specific parts of a song, such as changing a single lyric while keeping the rest intact;
• sample isolation: enables users to extract individual instruments from a track for remixing purposes;
• mashups: facilitates the combination of vocals from one song with instrumentals from another;
• multimodality: permits music creation using uploaded images, videos, and voice recordings.

Suno intends to transition fully to version v6 soon, phasing out older models from its platform.

Looking forward, the company plans to introduce new features aimed at supporting real musicians. Artists will have the opportunity to voluntarily share their data for music generation and receive a share of the platform's revenue, while fans can create tracks inspired by their favorite artists legally.

Additionally, since September 3, Suno has enforced strict limitations on track downloads.
