The music industry doesn't need another revolution; it needs a thoughtful evolution.

Björn Lindvall, CEO and Co-founder of Music Infra, joins the podcast to explain why “blue box” tech fixes often fail and why lasting change depends on deeper infrastructure.

Drawing from his finance background and co‑founding Hipgnosis, Lindvall dissects the challenges of digital licensing, outdated CWR (Common Works Registration) file standards, and mechanical rights.
