# beginSeekingBackward()

Begins seeking backward through the music content.

## Declaration

```swift
func beginSeekingBackward()
```

## Discussion

Discussion Use this method to move the current playback position backward in time at an accelerated rate. Seeking begins when you call this method, and continues until you call the endSeeking() method. If the player is streaming the underlying content, this method has no effect.
