I’ve searched around a bit in the small amount of iPhone/iPod Touch development information available and couldn’t find anything for or against. Can an application find out information about currently playing song on iPhone/iPod Touch? Since the music can continue to play while you are in 3rd party applications, is there a function or library that will give you information about what is playing? (Track, Artist, Album, etc.) I know generally that applications are sand-boxed but thought maybe there was a way.

  1. If you aren’t planning to put your app on the App Store you can import MobileMusicPlayer.h as seen in this example application: song-info

    edit: Interacting with the iPod application is now part of the iPhone OS 3.0 SDK
