Vinyl lovers, you might want to look away now. Because AI slop is coming to a record player near you.
That's right, AI music creation platform Suno now lets you press your AI-prompted tracks onto 12-inch records to play on your turntable.
Suno lets you create songs with 'prompts' – record a sample of you singing, tell it what genre you'd like your song to fit, and it'll generate a track. You can also remix original songs in different ways, and edit manually using instruments and its own software.

Each Suno vinyl fits a maximum of 46 minutes of music. Once you've got your tracks, you can upload your own artwork or create it using Suno to design your own sleeve, cover and label.
Each record costs $45 (around £33 / AU$64) plus shipping.
Suno has proved controversial. In 2024, it was sued by the three major record labels who alleged it didn't pay the musicians on whose tracks the AI model was trained. Warner Music settled its case last year and struck a licensing deal with Suno, but Universal and Sony Music remain plaintiffs in the case.
Suno has also just lost a copyright infringement case to Germany's state-mandated licensing agency GEMA. The court in Munich ruled that Suno violated copyrights in its data scraping practices and must now disclose illicit revenue. Suno will be ordered to pay damages which haven't yet been set.

Suno also suffered a data breach in November 2025 that exposed the personal information of over 55 million users.
All of which is exactly the opposite of everything we love about vinyl.
