I'm planning to create an application that plays the ipod Music Library, then the app sets a NSTimer that will stop the ipod Music player on a certain time. My question does my timer will still run when I entered the background mode. Is it possible to stop the ipod Music player on background Mode?
Thanks

I use AVAudioPlayer to play music for children to fall asleep.
The music also plays when the screen is locked or when the app is in the background.
When it plays too long the children wake up again. A developer friend said iOS suspends scheduled NSTimer in background so it is not reliable.
What other option do I have to to make music stop after 30 minutes even if device is in background?

How apple is running their Audio player in background?
MPMediaPlayer and AVQueuePlayer progress slider, with time left and time elapsed.
If your app is in the background, nobody will see the update anyway.
Just make sure you start the timer again when the app is coming into the foreground, and you'll be fine.
I'm using AVAudioRecorder to get the current level of the microphone, but it pauses any iPod music that's playing and won't let the user unpause it. Is there a way of getting the two to work together?

Are you playing any music or sounds from your app? If so, it will mute the iPod.
Can a App record the Voice in the surroundings even when it runs in the background and play the recorded audio? Is it possible?
Multitasking doesn't allow audio recording to be in the background, so no.
