Can audio files be saved like photos and movies in iphone using objective C?

hello all,

If our iphone application uses the inbuilt camera to click any picture, for saving the image into iPhone's photo library, we use UIImageWriteToSavedPhotosAlbum method. Likewise, to store any video recording into the iPhone, we use UISaveVideoAtPathToSavedPhotosAlbum

Is there any method to save any audio file into iPhone's Sounds library akin to both the methods mentioned above?

+1 A:

There is no way to import audio into the iPod application from the phone. iTunes (on the computer) is currently the only way. You do have a few options to save the file though

1) Create a movie on your own with just the audio
2) save it to disk locally (in the documents directory) and provide a way to get it off the phone (such as CocoaHTTPServer)
3) Email it.
4) Upload to a server

hello coneybeare, i think you misunderstood my query. It has nothing to do with iPod application in iPhone. I came across an Apple documentation stating that all the apps in iPhone are sandboxed, particularly iPod, it is read-only. I just want to know if there is any way to save an audio file(like ringtone) into Settings>General>Sounds when we do have methods to save photos and movie.

Apple currently provides no way of adding sounds to the sounds library without iTunes syncing up the ringtones. If they add this into the API, I will be the first to use it as it could greatly improve my own apps
