Xcode 4 Tutorial: Play Sound File (Beginner-Friendly)

[MediaXAP]

Great. I looked at a lot of other tutorials that didn't work or the XCode was out of date. The coding on this is much clearer and more logical. The one error I had is that ARC didn't allow explicit release. I replaced [audioPlay release] with [audioPlay stop]. Works fine and I'll work out the release later.

Thanks for your video!!!

What if the mp3 or wav file that I want to play is in my webpage server? 

[DancesofDragons]

NICE JOB good tutorial keep it up...

[trekstenen1]

[GTOTechnology]

@trekstenen1 This was just 4.0.

[trekstenen1]

[dinkypoodle]

Fantastic sound tut! Thank you.

[jetonr]

Does this tutorial fit also when playing a stream from an online radio. if we have a shoutcast server and we want to play the radio?

Does it require different coding or this is ok?

[SerialiPh]

great tutorial it works fine but how it's done if you want to put several MP3?

sorry for my English, but I'm French lol

[gold125]

@GTOTechnology:

Very useful in my project!

Also to let you know it works with .CAF audio format and [ ] are generally called SQUARE brackets in programming lingo

[carlofabyss]

thanks very much! only problem for me was osx's lame multitasking making it hard to follow, if it had snap like windows that would be brilliant. My screen is really small so I cant really just arrange but anyway great tut, it worked flawlessly after crossing my fingers.

[hypnospirit]

@carlofabyss window snapping features on Mac, search the App store for a program called Moom, you'll love it! The window snapping thing was the one thing about Windows that I preferred over Mac.

[tibounise]

Thank's a lot for this tutorial, it worked great for me !

NS stands for NeXTSTEP, the language on which Apple's Mac OS X is based.

[eddievarsity]

i had 1 error. In the part after we put our .mp3 file name (i had a .wav file), we entered this: [[NSBundle mainBundle] resoursePath]]]; It is telling me it is incorrect because "resource path" is not found and to (return type defaults to 'id'). I also put different fonts, a title, and background colors. But the fonts don't show and sound does not play. Now my app wont even come up. Can anyone tell me whats wrong?

[apentzer]

I just made my first app following your walk through.  Fantastic job, great instructions!

[tejoextremo]

hi

i have a problem with the programm:

i start the app in the iOS-Simulator and click start

then xcode shows me the line

" audioPlayer = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL: error: url error:&error]; " in a green backcolor and a the end of the line xcode says :

"Thread 1: Program received signal: "SIGABRT".

How can i fix that?
