In iPhone, how to store audio file picked from media picker to some directory?

Question

How can I write an audio file picked from mediaPicker into some particular folder? We are currently writing image to file path with this method:

[UIImagePNGRepresentation(image) writeToFile:pngPath atomically:YES];

Is it possible for to do the same kind of thing with an audio file?

Thanks.

- (BOOL)writeToFile:(NSString *)path atomically:(BOOL)flag

is a method of the NSData class, so, once you have fetched your audio from the media picker, you should totally be able to write it to a file that way.

Note: You might have to convert the audio picked to NSData first

Keep in mind, this isn't going to be a .mp3 - It's data that you can decode as normal. – Aurum Aquila Jan 28 '11 at 08:45
