How to play a song from the itunes library in iphone

Question

Hi i need to play a song from the itunes library. I had gone through the Apples ipod Library Access Guide and got the code.

MPMediaQuery *everything = [[MPMe         


        

Answer 1

I couldn't use theMPMediaPickerController in my scenario.

My short answer to question is to have a look at [musicplayer setNowPlayingItem:item]

here's some code below from my implementation.

// Create a new query
MPMediaQuery *query = [MPMediaQuery songsQuery];
MPMediaPropertyPredicate *mpp = [MPMediaPropertyPredicate predicateWithValue:@"a" forProperty:MPMediaItemPropertyTitle comparisonType:MPMediaPredicateComparisonContains];
[query addFilterPredicate:mpp]; 

// Retrieve the results and reload the table data
DATAENV.songCollections = [NSMutableArray arrayWithArray:query.collections];

//populate cell rows with 

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    MPMediaItem *item = [[[DATAENV.songCollections objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] items] lastObject];
    titleLbl = [item valueForProperty:MPMediaItemPropertyTitle];
}

- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    MPMediaItem *item = [[[self.songCollections objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] items] lastObject];
    [PLAYER setNowPlayingItem:item];
    [PLAYER play];
}

Where PLAYER/ DATAENV are my singletons

#define PLAYER  [[AudioController sharedAudioController_instance] musicPlayer]
#define DATAENV [DataEnvironment sharedDataEnvironment_instance]
