Question

how can i play a song file bundled with the application using MPMusicPlayerController ?

code that i tried,

NSString *url = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"song1" ofType:@"mp3"];
MPMusicPlayerController *myMusicPlayer=[[MPMusicPlayerController alloc] initWithContentURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:url]];
[myMusicPlayer play];

Answer 1

MPMusicPlayer controller is only for playing items from the user’s iPod library. The AVAudioPlayer will play encoded files from your app’s sandbox, and you should be able to convert this code to use AVAudioPlayer easily enough… looks like it would be:

NSString *url = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"song1" ofType:@"mp3"]; 
AVAudioPlayer *myMusicPlayer=[[AVAudioPlayer alloc]
        initWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath:url]
        error:nil];
[myMusicPlayer play];
