Answer 1

You're looking for is the MPMediaItemPropertyArtwork for MPMediaItem . As stated in the docs. After getting the artwork property you can make a MPMediaItemArtwork object, as stated in the docs.

An MPMediaItemArtwork object, or media item artwork, represents a graphical image, such as music album cover art, associated with a media item. Media items are described in MPMediaItem Class Reference.

With this you can do something like this. Assuming song is an MPMediaItem :

UIImage *image = nil;

MPMediaItemArtwork *itemArtwork = [song valueForProperty:
                                          MPMediaItemPropertyArtwork];
if(itemArtwork != nil)
     image = [itemArtwork imageWithSize:CGSizeMake(100,100)];

Now you have image containing your MPMediaItem artwork, set it to your image view ( [myImageView setImage:image] ). Keep in mind, this will only work if artwork IS available.

Hope this helps.
