Udio (In Transition)
The Label-Licensed Reboot
After settling with Universal and Warner, Udio disabled all downloads and is relaunching as "Starstruck," a label-licensed platform. Hold off on paid plans until downloads return.
✓Strengths
- •First fully label-licensed major platform (once Starstruck lands)
- •Historically strong stems and refinement control
- •Settlements cleared its biggest legal risks
⚠Considerations
- •ALL downloads disabled since the UMG deal — still off (August 17, 2026); Starstruck mobile app confirmed "later in 2026" but no public date
- •Effectively unusable for content creators right now
- •Future is a walled garden, not export-your-track creation
- •Paying today buys credits you can't take out
