Live Q&A - Kelli Richards Interviews Michael Robertson, the Bad Boy of the Digital Music Industry

Kelli Richards, the CEO of The All Access Group and Host of All Access Radio is thrilled to interview Michael Robertson.

Michael Robertson is a longtime provocateur of the music business and is the founder and former CEO of MP3.com, one of the most popular Internet music sites ever. Robertson also launched several small start-up companies, including Linspire, SIPphone, MP3tunes, and Ajax 13.

Robertson’s newest startup, DAR.fm is a centralized Web-based TiVo (TIVO) for radio, users can go to DAR.fm to search the programming schedules of over 600 music and talk-radio stations and schedule the site to record up to 4 hours of any broadcast. Michael Robertson sees this as the answer to the death of radio, "Radio is dying because it's inconvenient and limiting. The content is not interactive, and it's available on only a limited number of devices."

The man who has fought more high-profile battles with the record industry than anybody in technology, and whose experience in digital music is nearly unmatched, has never appeared more prescient. Over his career Michael Robertson has raised more than $100 million in private capital and orchestrated transactions with a combined value of nearly a billion dollars. Fasten your seatbelts; this is an interview you definitely need to hear.
