LANDR accepts music created with AI tools, subject to strict conditions outlined in their policy updated February 2, 2026. You must disclose AI-generated elements during upload, stay within a 12-song monthly limit for AI content, and accept that AI tracks are excluded from YouTube Content ID, Meta, TikTok, Deezer, Pandora, and Tencent.

What are LANDR's specific AI requirements?

LANDR's policy is the most detailed among major distributors. Five core requirements apply to all AI content.

Mandatory disclosure. You must disclose during the upload process if your release contains AI-generated elements. LANDR may request proof of rights if your content is flagged during review.

12-song monthly cap. LANDR allows a maximum of 12 AI-generated songs per calendar month per subscriber. Exceeding this limit may cause delays, removal of excess submissions, or restrictions on future uploads.

No AI cover songs. AI-generated covers of existing songs are not distributed "at this time."

No impersonation. Content that unfairly or unlawfully impersonates an individual's likeness is prohibited, including AI voice clones.

Rights ownership. You must have acquired all rights, including any human contributions incorporated into the track.

Warning LANDR uses detection technology to identify undisclosed AI content. Submitting AI music without disclosure risks account deactivation.

Which platforms are excluded for AI content?

LANDR excludes AI-generated content from several major platforms. Stores that do not receive AI tracks include:

YouTube Content ID
Meta (Facebook and Instagram)
TikTok
Deezer
Pandora
Tencent

These exclusions significantly limit social media monetization and UGC revenue for AI music. If your strategy depends on Content ID claims, Meta monetization, or TikTok sound revenue, these gaps affect your bottom line.

Tracks still go to Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, and other platforms that do not have documented AI exclusion policies through LANDR.

What happens if you violate LANDR's AI policy?

LANDR outlines escalating consequences. Exceeding the monthly AI upload limit may cause delays, removal of excess submissions, or restrictions on future uploads. General policy violations (undisclosed AI content, impersonation, spam) may result in release removal or account deactivation. Repeated violations can lead to permanent account deletion.

How does LANDR compare to other AI-friendly distributors?

LANDR sits between the permissive approach of DistroKid (no stated volume cap, no platform exclusions documented) and the strict rejection of TuneCore and CD Baby. The 12-song monthly cap and broad platform exclusions are the most restrictive conditions among distributors that accept AI music. Amuse also excludes Meta and YouTube Content ID for AI content but allows up to 10 releases per 7 days.

LANDR's strength is policy clarity. The detailed documentation means fewer surprises during review, and the mandatory disclosure process positions creators for compliance as industry-wide AI metadata standards (like Spotify's DDEX-based credits) become the norm. For creators who use AI as part of a larger creative process and release at moderate volume, LANDR provides a well-documented path.
