ElevenLabs adds reusable vocals and private music finetunes
ElevenLabs released two related personalization options: Vocals can preserve a consistent uploaded voice across generated songs, while the Finetunes Music API lets developers train a private model variant on a user’s own tracks. The company says uploaded voice and music samples receive content-identification checks. For creators and music apps, the update moves generation from one-off prompting toward repeatable vocal and sonic identities.

Musicians’ union presses compensation claim over AI licensing
Music Business Worldwide reports that the American Federation of Musicians opposed efforts by Universal and Warner to dismiss its lawsuit over licenses involving Suno and Udio. The union argues that supplying member performances for AI use triggered a contract provision requiring notice and compensation; the labels dispute that reading. The judge had not ruled, leaving performer payment from label–AI agreements an open legal question.

Deezer says AI tracks now exceed half of peak daily uploads
Deezer says fully AI-generated tracks reached more than 50% of new daily uploads at peak in June, averaging about 90,000 tracks a day. The service says it excludes detected AI music from recommendations, removes fraudulent streams from royalties, and plans to take down fraudulent or long-unplayed AI tracks.

Mubert launches Cast for transcript-led podcast editing
Mubert launched Cast, an audio-first podcast editor that combines transcript-based cuts, voice cleanup, chaptering, generated music, automatic ducking and sound effects. The product exports platform-normalized audio, and paid plans can also export stems; Mubert says its generated music is licensed for use under the applicable plan. For podcasters, the update reduces the need to move between a transcript editor, audio cleaner, music library and DAW.
Reports link a past Suno breach to training-data details
404 Media reported that a hacker shared legacy Suno code and data describing the collection of music, lyrics and podcasts used for training. PC Gamer quoted Suno saying the limited incident occurred in 2025, involved outdated code, was contained and did not compromise sensitive personal information. The reporting adds detail to an existing training-data dispute, but the underlying files came through an unauthorized breach and should be treated as reported claims.

Suno brings song creation into iMessage
Suno added an iMessage keyboard extension for iOS. Users can record a voice or type lyrics, choose styles, generate a song and send it in a conversation; recipients can listen and reply with another generated song. The release does not change Suno’s music model, but it moves creation and sharing into a familiar messaging workflow, lowering the friction for quick, social song-making on mobile.
