Extract iPod Library raw PCM samples and play with sound effects

Question

I am trying to extract raw PCM samples from an MP3 in the iPod Library so that I can play the song and manipulate the pitch, tempo, and apply sound effects (such as filters)

Answer 1

I think you want this in there to ensure its PCM...

NSDictionary* outputSettingsDict = [[NSDictionary alloc] initWithObjectsAndKeys:

                        [NSNumber numberWithInt:kAudioFormatLinearPCM],AVFormatIDKey,
                   //     [NSNumber numberWithInt:44100.0],AVSampleRateKey, /*Not Supported*/
                   //     [NSNumber numberWithInt: 2],AVNumberOfChannelsKey,    /*Not Supported*/

                        [NSNumber numberWithInt:16],AVLinearPCMBitDepthKey,
                        [NSNumber numberWithBool:NO],AVLinearPCMIsBigEndianKey,
                        [NSNumber numberWithBool:NO],AVLinearPCMIsFloatKey,
                        [NSNumber numberWithBool:NO],AVLinearPCMIsNonInterleaved,

                        nil];

AVAssetReaderTrackOutput* output = [[AVAssetReaderTrackOutput alloc] initWithTrack:songTrack outputSettings:outputSettingsDict];
