Who can participate?
You can participate if you own all rights to the music and all contributors agree, meaning for the composition, lyrics and recording.
AI platforms
Your music. Your decision. New income.
AI platforms pay to license music for training their models. You decide for each release whether your music is included and on which platforms.
What you get
- ✓Voluntary and selectable per release
- ✓Choice of platforms
- ✓Independent of your other stores
- ✓Earnings in your royalties
What is this about?
AI models learn from music. More and more platforms are licensing tracks for this purpose instead of simply using them, and they share the revenue with the rights holders.
With OneCrewRecords, you turn this on for each release with a single switch. It's a license for training – your rights stay with you.
You stay in control
Nothing happens unless you want it to.
Voluntary
Nothing happens on its own. Your release is only included if you turn the switch on yourself.
Per release
You decide for each release individually, not for your entire catalog at once.
Choose platforms
You decide which platforms are allowed to license your music. Currently, Udio and Meta AI are available to choose from.
Independent of stores
AI platforms are added on top of Spotify, Apple Music and others. Your other stores remain unaffected.
Keep track of your earnings
Your earnings appear together with your other earnings in the Royalties section.
Your rights stay with you
The license is limited and only applies to training AI models. Your music is not sold as a result.
Licensing in four steps
Everything happens within the release flow, so you don't need to set up anything separately.
01
Create a release
Upload your song and fill out the release flow as usual.
02
Turn on AI platforms
In step 4 ("Stores"), you'll find the "AI platforms" toggle under "Advanced stores".
03
Select platforms
Choose which platforms your music may be licensed to.
04
Submit and track
Submit your release. You'll see earnings from licenses later in your royalties.
What you should know
Licensing your music for AI training is a conscious decision. Take your time to read through the key points.
What the license means
You grant a limited, non-exclusive license that is used solely for training AI models. Your music is not sold and not redistributed.
If you opt out
Your music will then no longer be used for new training. Models that have already been trained cannot be reversed and may continue to work.
If a platform drops out
If the contract with a platform ends, your music will no longer be available there.
Note
This is an offer, not an obligation.
Leave the switch off if you don't want your music to be used for AI training. This has no effect on your other stores.
Frequently asked questions about AI licensing
Is participation mandatory?
No. It's voluntary and can be set individually for each release. Without your switch turned on, your release won't be included.
Who can participate?
Anyone who fully owns the rights to a song and whose contributors all agree.
Do I keep my rights?
Yes. You only grant a limited, non-exclusive license for training AI models.
How do I get paid?
The revenue appears in your royalties. The amount depends on the contracts with the platforms and may fluctuate.
What happens if I want to opt out?
Write to us via the dashboard. After that, your music will no longer be used for new training. Models that have already been trained may continue to work.
Is this the same as the AI disclosure in the release?
No. The AI disclosure states whether AI was involved in creating your song. "AI Platforms" is a separate, voluntary switch that determines whether your music is licensed for AI training.
