An iPhone view controller to visualize and control music playback

MusicPlayerViewController

MusicPlayerViewController aimes to be a drop-in component that serves as an UI for a Music Player on iPhone and iPhad by replicating the Music.app's user interface.

MusicPlayerViewController has the following features

• UI for iPhone and iPad
• Support for variable-speed scrobbling
• Support for resolution/device-dependent cover art
• Controllable using a data source and an optional delegate
• Three Repeat Modes and Shuffle mode

Usage

You can read the full API Reference at CocoaDocs, but using the component itself is simple. Since it is derived from a standard UIViewController, you can just instantiate it, set a delegate and datasource and are good to go.

BeamMusicPlayerViewController* controller = [BeamMusicPlayerViewController new];
controller.delegate = self;
controller.dataSource = self;
// Push the controller or something else

The Project contains an example that uses the MediaLibrary to provide data for the UI. You can use this as an starting point.
