how to filter MPMediaItems by .mp3 files to play songs in AVPlayer

Question

I need to filter my query items by .mp3 files. Now i am getting result from query,it's contains video files(mp4). these are my line of codes

 MPMediaQuery *everything = [[MPMediaQuery alloc] init];
        NSArray *itemsFromGenericQuery = [everything items];
        self.songs = [NSMutableArray arrayWithArray:itemsFromGenericQuery];

Did you try `[MPMediaQuery songsQuery]` ? – atulkhatri Oct 12 '16 at 06:27 — atulkhatri, Oct 12 '16 at 06:27

To get all the songs in the library use -[MPMediaQuery songsQuery] instead of creating your own MPMediaQuery.

If you're looking for local .mp3 files specifically, you add a filter for the property MPMediaItemPropertyIsCloudItem, and then check -[MPMediaItem assetURL] to determine if the file matches.
