According to The Verge, Udio has discontinued the ability to download AI musical compositions. The service still exists, and users can still sign up to create AI music, but there’s no longer any way to get the raw files of the songs they create from the website, at least not without some technical expertise. As The Verge points out, the terms users agree to when creating a Udio account also prevent class-action lawsuits, so there’s not much users can do about it.

Udio didn’t do this just like that. Earlier this month, Udio and Universal reached a settlement related to Udio’s use of copyrighted material in the training of its AI. Part of this agreement was that, after a 48-hour grace period during which users could download their creations, the feature would be shut down completely.

Udio is to remain existing, and Universal benefits financially from it, but users can no longer download their songs. There are other AI music services like Listen available, but it wouldn’t be surprising if they end up in similar places over time, too.
