Spotify, Merlin partner on paid AI covers preview

Spotify联手音乐版权巨头Merlin，准备给AI翻唱“上户口”了。这次合作的核心，是推出付费版AI翻唱预览功能，让用户不仅能听到AI模仿歌手声音的作品，还愿意为之掏钱。简单说，以前AI翻唱在主流平台多半是灰色地带，版权不清、歌手不满，而这次Spotify和Merlin的合作，等于给AI音乐套上了合法商业化的缰绳，让AI生成的内容也能名正言顺地赚钱。对普通用户来说，以后可能在Spotify上听到更多由AI“演唱”的经典歌曲，音色逼真到听不出差别，但需要付费才能完整收听。这既满足了粉丝对“偶像唱新歌”的幻想，也让版权方有了新的收入来源。不过这背后也藏着一个问题：AI翻唱会不会挤压真人歌手的空间？目前来看，付费模式至少让各方有了坐下来谈利益的起点，既不是一刀切封杀，也不是放任自流，算是AI音乐商业化的一次试探性落地。
