Who owns a model trained on your catalogue? https://wearethemusicmakers.co/news/2026/10/suno-shared-workspaces-custom-models-studio-updates Suno now lets teams share song libraries in Workspaces and lets Premier users share custom models trained on their own uploads, a week after Studio got tighter timing, clip stretching and fade curves.
