Assigning the playItem as the rightBarButtonItem of self.navigationItem does not make sense, since that will set the button as a button of the navigation bar at the top, and you want to place it in the toolbar (at the bottom)

To solve this, you'll have to create another button with a flexible width and add that as the first item of the toolbar:

UIBarButtonItem *flexible = [[UIBarButtonItem alloc] initWithBarButtonSystemItem:UIBarButtonSystemItemFlexibleSpace target:nil action:nil];
toolbar.items = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:flexible, playItem, nil];
[flexible release];
