Play Music? - Objective C

Question

Hey guys,

How would you play any type of music in objective-c (not iphone sdk), and how would you stop the music?

Thanks, Kevin

Answer 1

Hi Kevin! Here is some sample code that shows you how to play a sound file in Mac OS X (10.5+). It uses the AudioQueue API.
Take a look at the aqplay code.

-(void) playAlarmSound
{
    // Get the filename of the sound file
    NSString *path = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@%@",
                      [[NSBundle mainBundle] resourcePath],
                      @"/alarm.wav"];

    // Declare a sound id
    SystemSoundID soundID;

    // get a URL for the sound file
    NSURL *filepath = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:path isDirectory:NO];

    // Use audio services to create sound
    AudioServicesCreateSystemSoundID((CFURLRef) filepath, &soundID);

    // Use audio services to play the sound
    AudioServicesPlaySystemSound(soundID);
}
