Discussion
The iPod music player employs the iPod app on your behalf. On instantiation, it takes on the current iPod app state and controls that state as your app runs. Specifically, the shared state includes the following:
Repeat mode (see MPMusicRepeatMode)
Shuffle mode (see MPMusicShuffleMode
Now-playing item (see nowPlayingItem)
Playback state (see playbackState)
Other aspects of iPod state, such as the on-the-go playlist, aren’t shared. Music that’s playing continues to play when your app moves to the background.
