Suno launched v6 on September 9, 2026, built with Warner Music Group, BMG and Believe and trained from scratch on licensed data. Every previous Suno model is being permanently retired, and a distribution path through TuneCore arrives with it.
Starting September 3, 2026, Suno caps song downloads by tier: 7 lifetime free, 20/mo Pro, 60/mo Premier, unlimited in Studio. The caps apply retroactively to songs you already made.
Suno will watermark and fingerprint every AI track, screen uploads, and cap mass distribution while it settles record-label suits. Here is what changes for creators.
Suno opened a waitlist for Suno Vinyl, a service that presses songs made on its AI music platform onto real 12-inch records for about $45.
Suno upgraded its web Cover Art tool on July 31, 2026, letting musicians drop an image into the platform and reshape it into album artwork or a short cover video with a text prompt.
A hacker leaked Suno's training data manifests, revealing 2 million scraped YouTube clips plus Deezer, Genius and Pond5 catalogs, weeks before a July copyright ruling.
Suno's new Advanced Split mode lets Premier subscribers extract any of nearly 100 instruments from a track, from a full drum kit to vocals.
Suno vs Udio head-to-head: 10 prompts tested across 4 genres, scored on vocal clarity, instrumental separation, song structure, and price per finished track. The verdict for working creators in 2026.
AI music platform Suno has formally taken control of Songkick user data and is hiring a GM to wire live music discovery into its AI creation tools.
