iPhone Music Game Problem With Double Tapping Home Button

Question

When the home button gets double tapped in the middle of my music game for the iPhone, a pop-up appears showing the name and artist of the song being played...how do I disable this pop-up ?

I'm using the iPodMusicPlayer in MPMusicPlayerController and I don't want to have to use applicationMusicPlayer.

Thanks.

Answer 1

The behavior of the double-click of the Home button is controlled by the system preference in your iPhone settings under General -> Home. There is an option there to turn off iPod controls.

I'm not sure if this can be modified in code, however.

Answer 2

Unless Apple adds more controls over an application's audio session, the iPod music control is off limits. So is Home button behavior (unrelated to audio session though).
