Streaming mp3 audio with AVPlayer

try this

 -(void)playselectedsong{

        AVPlayer *player = [[AVPlayer alloc]initWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:urlString]];
        self.songPlayer = player;
        [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self

You can also try my open source Audjustable library which supports HTTP streaming. It's based on Matt's AudioStreamer but has been tidied, optimised and updated to support multiple data sources (non HTTP) and gapless playback.

In addition to Sumit Mundra's answer, which helped me a lot, I found that this technique doesn't actually stream MP3 files from a remote server. When I implemented this, the file downloaded synchronously, blocking my UI, before playing. The way to properly stream the MP3 that I found worked very well was to point to an M3U file. This is just a text file with an .m3u extension which contains a link to the original MP3. Point Sumit's code at that file instead, and you have a stream that starts playing immediately.

This is the place I found that information: http://www.soundabout.net/streammp3.htm
