Suno launches $45 vinyl for AI-generated songs: custom 12-inch records

Starting today, Suno users can press up to 46 minutes from their Suno library onto a custom 12-inch record. The price is about $45, plus shipping, according to the company.

Each Suno creation comes as a single record, with custom sleeve and label art included. Even so, the launch is already getting pushback from vinyl fans and artists who connect the format to musicianship, liner notes, record stores, and the small human imperfections that give records their character, not songs built from prompts.

The release also lands in the middle of a much bigger fight over machine-made music. Deezer has called attention to the volume of AI-generated uploads. Qobuz has taken a more cautious approach. The Recording Industry Association of the Phonographic Industry (RIAA) and the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) are both pushing for clearer labeling. Some producers see room here for experimentation or accessibility. A lot of musicians don’t buy that argument. Timbaland, for one, has advised Suno and used the platform in a remix contest.

If you use Suno often, this is something to watch. Universal Music Group (UMG) and Sony are suing over Suno’s alleged use of protected recordings. Germany’s GEMA has already won a ruling tied to training data. Even the eco pitch around PETG looks shakier once manufacturing, shipping, and compute are all part of the math. Add vinyl’s symbolic comeback in markets like Japan, along with cooling search interest, and this starts to look as much like an attention grab as a real new business line.

You can order the record through Suno.
