Question

I am using the AVAudioRecorder class available with the 3.0 SDK to record audio in my app.
I am successfully able to record to a caf/aiff file. But I would like to record to an mp3.

I tried changing some values in the settings dictionary but all I get is a blank file.

1. Is it possible to record to an mp3 using AVAudioRecorder

2. If not, how can I transfer the caf files from my app to a computer?

Thanks.

Answer 1

From all I can find on the API documentation, you can’t change the encoder. The only encoder settings I could find that you can change are:

AVEncoderAudioQualityKey;
AVEncoderBitRateKey;
AVEncoderBitDepthHintKey;

As for transferring the file, a typical approach would be to email the file.
