Answer 1

Are you playing songs from iPods music library ? If yes than You should you MPMusicPlayerViewController, it provides in-build functionality for seek bar properties as well as Info center.

I can see here in your code you have used AVAudioPlayer, We can set only below details using AVAudioPlayer class, but can't access seekbar change event in our app.

NSMutableDictionary *albumInfo = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];
UIImage *artWork = [UIImage imageNamed:album.imageUrl];
[albumInfo setObject:album.title forKey:MPMediaItemPropertyTitle];
[albumInfo setObject:album.auther forKey:MPMediaItemPropertyArtist];
[albumInfo setObject:album.title forKey:MPMediaItemPropertyAlbumTitle];
[albumInfo setObject:artworkP forKey:MPMediaItemPropertyArtwork];
[albumInfo setObject:album.playrDur forKey:MPMediaItemPropertyPlaybackDuration]
[albumInfo setObject:album.elapsedTime forKey:MPNowPlayingInfoPropertyElapsedPlaybackTime]
[[MPNowPlayingInfoCenter defaultCenter] setNowPlayingInfo:albumInfo]

Here we need to count album.playrDur and album.elapsedTime as per required format.
