Hear the Human.
Spotify is flooding your Discover Weekly with AI-generated music and will not let you opt out. Sonveil is built on one promise: every track you hear was made by a human being.
The Problem
Users report 4 to 8 AI-generated tracks in every Discover Weekly playlist. Spotify has acknowledged the problem. They have taken no structural action.
"There were six AI songs in my Discover Weekly this week. It feels like the magic is gone. I have been a subscriber for a decade and I am finally considering leaving."

Every track runs through spectral analysis, metadata audit, and distribution pattern review. Tracks earn a HumanVerified badge. No badge, no discovery placement. The first certification system of its kind in streaming.
Core FeatureExplicitly designed to surface artists you have never heard of. Penalizes same-artist repetition. Rewards cross-genre bridges. Injects wild card tracks from micro-genre artists every week.
DiscoveryWe pay a minimum of $0.015 per stream — 3 to 5 times Spotify's rate. Artists see exactly what they earned, when, and from which listeners. No black box. Ever.
Artist PaySee AI-detection scores on any track. Filter by verified or unverified. Adjust serendipity from 0 to 100. View exactly why a track was recommended. The anti-algorithm.
TransparencyOne tap to tip any artist directly. Zero platform cut. Sonveil takes nothing. Artists receive 97% of tips. Human-to-human, no intermediary.

There were six AI songs in my Discover Weekly this week. It feels like the magic is gone. I have been a subscriber for a decade and I am finally considering leaving.
I make $34 a month on Spotify. My rent is $1,200. I am not asking for charity — I am asking for a platform that does not treat my work like filler content.
I bought a vinyl last week from an artist I had never heard of just because I wanted something real. If a streaming platform could give me that feeling, I would pay double.
