Question

I’m writing an application that occasionally records the user’s voice. During recording, I would like the application to pause whatever music happens to be playing (pandora, ipod, etc) and when recording is finished, I want it to resume that music for the user.

Using MPMusicPlayerController’s pause/play methods works with the iPod music. In fact, ‘pause’ will pause Pandora without trouble also; however, ‘play’ resumes the iPod instead of Pandora.

Pointers to relevant documentation are appreciated.

Answer 1

I stopped researching, but I don’t believe there is a way to do this.
