I was wondering if there was a class available that can retrieve lyrics for a song title? Is there any iPhone compatible API available?

Says it has a XML response as well. You can very well parse XML efficiently with the NSXML parser

I'm trying to implement online music search and sample streaming features for an iOS app: the user may be able to search music by song name/artist/album and reproduce them. I found Rdio.com looks promising, however, can't figure out a way to solve this.
The streaming api expects a key, such as
[rdio.player playSource:#"t2742133"];
but I'm having difficulties to trace how can I get the key "t2742133" for a given song, as it seems there's no documented method for getting a song metadata based on its name. Anyone experienced with Rdio.com could tell if there's a (relatively) straight forward way to get a song info by its name, and which would be the main steps to take?
Couldn't find a direct method for the iOS sdk, but for searching purposes there's a REST api instead.-

The responses include track ids that can be passed to iOS api streaming method.

You may want to refer to SBJSON Framework which is frequently used for objective-C, I have used this framework in may of my iOS Apps.
You may get a reference about it from these links:

Example Code: Also here is an example on, How to parse JSON with SBJSON Parser:

How could I select and play a song in an iPhone user's library using objective-c? Thank you so much! I couldn't find how using Apple's documentation or Google.
The relevant class for finding available songs is MPMediaQuery. There are a bunch of filters you can use to get a subset of the iTunes library returned. You'll end up with an NSArray of MPMediaItem. You can use the valueForProperty: method with the MPMediaItemPropertyAssetURL property to get a URL that references the item.
They won't generally be normal file URLs, but they are URLs that the AV Foundation is able to use so an instance of AVAudioPlayer should be able to play a song.
I'm developing an iPhone application for a radio station. I'm in need of parsing playlist.pls and playlist.qtl, to get the stream audio url present in it. I'm stuck with that.
Since pls uses ini format, you can parse it using Properties. qtl is an xml format, you can find a lot of examples of parsing xml.

EPUB is just XHTML stored in a zipfile with an XML manifest. Get a zip library and you can use a WebView to display the actual content.
