Say Goodnight

For my radio show iPhone application project, I wanted to use the metadata contained in my enhanced podcast files. Including:

• chapter information (artist/song)
• chapter start time
• chapter image

Once I had this information I wanted to store it in XML on my server so I could access it whenever I wanted (from the iPhone application).

Starting with Matt Gallagher’s awesome AudioStreamer class, I wanted to extend it in a couple ways:

1. Be able to play my radio show .mp3s hosted on my website (static files, not streams)
2. Be able to start playback at any point in the file (startWithOffsetInSecs)
3. Obviously, have it work on the iPhone
4. Be able to have full control of audio & drawing while audio is playing

Actually, #3 & #4 are really what pushed me to find Matt’s class in the first place…so they aren’t really extensions of AudioStreamer, but rather why I chose to use AudioStreamer in the first place. The other major option was using something like MPMoviePlayerController. But that had several limitations which I won’t get into here.
