Suno Opens Waitlist to Press AI-Generated Songs Onto Vinyl Records

Suno, the AI music-generation platform, has opened a waitlist for a new service called Suno Vinyl that turns songs created on its platform into physical 12-inch records.

The service is listed as "coming soon" on its waitlist page at vinyl.suno.com. According to Music Business Worldwide, which reported the launch on August 6, 2026, each record will be a 12-inch black disc pressed from PETG — a plastic Suno describes as eco-friendly — with a full-colour printed sleeve and labels.

Users build a tracklist from their Suno library, with up to 46 minutes of audio per record. They can design the sleeve, labels and cover using their own artwork or Suno-generated art. Suno says each record is pressed from the user's final mix, then quality-checked and delivered. Pricing is estimated at $45 plus shipping, per Music Business Worldwide.

The tagline Suno has attached to the product: "Some songs deserve more than a stream."

Suno's co-founder and CEO is Mikey Shulman, and the company has moved fast from a Harvard Square startup to a major player in AI-generated music. In June, Suno raised over $400 million in a Series D funding round — the round that typically comes when a company is scaling aggressively — which valued the company at $5.4 billion, according to Music Business Worldwide.

On the same day the vinyl service was reported, Suno published a blog post titled "How We're Building the Future of Music Responsibly," dated August 6, 2026, on its company blog.

That framing arrives against active litigation. In June 2024, major record labels sued Suno and fellow AI music startup Udio, alleging they copied hundreds of recordings from some of the world's most popular musicians to train their AI models, according to Reuters. The Associated Press, reporting in February 2026, described Suno as pushing to settle the copyright infringement lawsuits.

For now, the vinyl service adds a physical layer to a product that has so far existed only as files. Whether enough users want a tangible record of something they generated with a prompt is a question the waitlist will begin to answer.
