Question

I am a newbie iOS Developer. Could anybody point me in the right direction how can I develop pandora like app?

However, unlike Pandora, user should be able to view/play from the catalog or use recommendation engine. At this moment, I am not worried about recommendation engine. Basically, I want the app to be able to present sound file collection and play selected mp3 or entire album (play, pause, shuffle, repeat, etc). I want the melody catalog to be easily maintainable. I guess I will not store files locally. They have to be streamed from the server (HTTP Live Streaming?)??? The list will keep getting bigger and I will be the only person adding tracks.

What frameworks/libraries/documentation should I read up on?

Anyways, I learn better by doing it, so even though this is not an easy task, decided to take on it.

Thanks!

Good choice… learning by doing.

What I found useful in getting started with iOS was the online stanford class and the apple documentation concerning Audio:
