Chapter 29. Music Library
An iOS device can be used for the same purpose as the original iPod — to hold and play music and podcasts. These items constitute the device’s music library; the user can play them with the Music app (formerly called the iPod app on some devices). iOS provides the programmer with various forms of access to the device’s music library; you can:
- Explore the music library
- Play an item from the music library
- Learn and control what the Music app’s music player is doing
- Present a standard interface for allowing the user to select a music library item
These abilities are provided by the Media Player framework. You’ll need to link to MediaPlayer.framework and import <MediaPlayer/MediaPlayer.h>.
