iPod music should stop playing when launching app

Question

How can I make my app automatically stop the iPod music - if it's playing - as soon as the app is started? I need this so when people listen to music and want to use the app they don't need to pause the music first before opening the app.

Answer 1

Simple enough, import the MediaPlayer framework and tell the iPodMusicPlayer to stop or pause.

[[MPMusicPlayerController iPodMusicPlayer] stop];
[[MPMusicPlayerController iPodMusicPlayer] pause];
