Bono’s already inserted himself into everyone’s iPhones this week, but now he wants even more control over the way you enjoy music. The Irish singer says that he’s been working with Apple on a new audio format that’ll get people paying for music once again. In an interview with Time magazine, which won’t be published until September 29th, it’s said that the band has been working on a secret project that’s “so terribly exciting to music fans that it will tempt them again into buying music.” It’s all part of U2’s noble cause to see that songwriters and, especially, artists who can’t recoup lost earnings through live gigs – like U2 – are properly compensated for their labors. Of course, given Apple’s historic preference for secrecy, we can’t imagine it’ll be too pleased that Bono’s running his mouth off in public. Then again, it wouldn’t be the first time that a musician has blown one of Tim Cook’s future announcements.
