Tiny Vinyl unveils dedicated 4‑inch turntable amid AI‑generated vinyl legal disputes

Tiny Vinyl introduced a compact turntable designed specifically for its 4‑inch records. Measuring about 10 × 5.5 × 6.5 inches and weighing 3.9 lb, the belt‑drive player spins at 33.3 RPM, includes dual speakers, Bluetooth output and a headphone jack, and runs on AC power. The company also offers accessories such as a storage crate and display frame, and the format already features releases from artists like BTS, Rihanna and The Rolling Stones.

Separately, AI music platform Suno launched a service that lets users press AI‑generated tracks onto 12‑inch vinyl for $45 per record. The venture has drawn legal challenges: Warner Music settled a licensing dispute, while Universal and Sony Music continue lawsuits alleging unpaid royalties. A German court ruled Suno violated copyright in its data‑scraping practices, ordering the company to disclose revenues and pay damages. Suno also suffered a data breach affecting over 55 million users.
