License your music for AI training.On your terms.
AI music tools are being built right now. The question isn't whether it happens, it's whether the artists whose music makes it possible get anything in return. Ditto gives you the choice.

Opt in. Get paid. Stay in control.
If you own your music and want to earn more money from it, you can make your releases available for AI music training through Ditto's licensing programme. You'll receive a share of the revenue from every licensing deal struck with our approved AI partners.
Three steps,
one transparent deal.
No surprises, no shortcuts. You decide what goes in, you see what came out, and you can leave whenever you like.
You decide what's included
Opt in individual releases, your full catalogue, or nothing at all. You can change your mind at any time, though models already trained on your music before you opt out may continue to operate.
You get paid directly
Licensing revenue is paid into your Ditto account alongside your streaming and sales income. We'll show you which platforms used your music and what was earned.
Only real artists, only licensed music
This programme is open exclusively to artists and rights-holders who own and control 100% of their recordings. No unlicensed content. No shortcuts.
AI Music Licensing, FAQs.
Who can opt in?
Independent artists, labels and rights-holders who own and control 100% of the rights to their music — including permission from any collaborators on the recordings.
How much will I earn?
Payment is a share of the licensing revenue generated by each deal with our AI partners. Rates vary by agreement — you'll see a full breakdown in your Ditto account once you opt in.
Which platforms will use my music?
Only our vetted, licensed AI partners — currently including Udio, ElevenLabs and others. These platforms have entered formal licensing agreements with Ditto and are contractually required to use music responsibly.
Will I keep the rights to my music?
Completely. You're granting a limited, non-exclusive licence for training purposes only. Your music isn't redistributed or sold. You remain the full owner of your masters at all times.
What if I opt out later?
You can withdraw at any time. Your music won't be included in any new training after you opt out. It's worth knowing that models already trained before your withdrawal may continue to operate — we can't undo prior training.
What happens if a partner deal ends?
If Ditto's relationship with a platform ends, your music will no longer be made available to them going forward.
