iOS iPod Library

Hey everyone,

I've been reading the iPhone Dev Documentation on using the MediaPlayer frameworks to access and play songs from the iPod library. However, the documentation and examples I can find are bland and not very helpful.

Can anyone show me how to basically recreate the iPod app? At this point in my app development, I just need the app to open to show the iPod library (playlists, artists, songs, albums) and allow the user to navigate to the song and play it just as they would in the built-in iPod app.

So far all I know to do is:
MPMusicPlayerController *iPodPlayer = [MPMusicPlayerController iPodMusicPlayer];

I don't know how to load the library into the view, or use any of the other functionality.

Surely, it's somewhat "drag and drop" right? It would be a super pain to have to make ALL the ipod buttons in my app....

Well, I've been reading/watching tutorials and reading "iphone programming for dummies" like crazy.

So far, my app has a tab bar controller, each with a nav controller, and a subsequent table view (for now). It loads and runs fine. Even have the icons set.

All I need for the ipod part, is to load my tab and nav controller, with the user's ipod library. So inside the tab, does it need to be under a nav controller (so the user can click a song and navigate back to list) or implemented in some other way. I just want to list the library (sorted by artist, album, or all songs) and when the user selects a song, it will push a new view with album art, pause, next, and a few custom buttons.

Sorry for the "drag and drop" comment. Apple normally makes things so user friendly, but I've learned developing for iOS isn't included in that list. I just figured since they gave you access to library, at least the core functionality of the ipod would be straightforward (i.e. loading a table view with songs, clicking would play song, etc.)
