How to get album cover image in iOS?

Post by grovecat » Sat Oct 22, 2011 2:55 pm

The app I am trying to develop needs to let a user select a song from the music library on an iOS device, and assign the album cover image to a button (that is, it becomes the button icon). As well as this, pressing the button will then play that track. After a number of buttons have been assigned as above, the app will be used for testing low-functioning patients to assess if they can associate buttons with songs.

Anyway, I need a way to select a song and retrieve the album cover image associated with it.

TIA

Hi grovecat,

access to the iTunes lib is not yet supported on iOS!

Hi,

I made an external to control iTunes. I might be able to get the art work as well. [urlhttp://www3.economy-x-talk.com/file.php?node=contact]Contact me off-list[/url].
