Answer 1

Streaming Audio Services is possible. you should using a AVPlayer (not AVAudioPlayer AVAuioPlayer is not available Streaming Services.)

This apple Sample Code StitchedStreamPlayer is good for you.

This code Streaming Movie Play Sample, but also available Audio Service.

Answer 2

Your best bet is to user this github project https://github.com/jfricker/AudioStreamer You can control forward and reverse for audio in it. I have used this in one of my project and the performance is really good.

after searching things here I'm with answer.for run application in background playing songs, step is as below

1. in your application info.plist file add "Application does not run in background" to "YES"
2. in your application info.plist file add "YES"Required background modes" and set "App plays audio"

3. in your .m file

    - (void)viewDidLoad { [super viewDidLoad]; NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"select" ofType:@"mp3"]]; NSError *error; audioPlayer = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:url error:nil]; if (error) { NSLog(@"Error in audioPlayer: %@", [error localizedDescription]); } else { [[AVAudioSession sharedInstance] setCategory:AVAudioSessionCategoryPlayback error:nil]; [[AVAudioSession sharedInstance] setActive: YES error: nil]; [[UIApplication sharedApplication] beginReceivingRemoteControlEvents]; [audioPlayer play]; } }
