title: AVPlayer And Local Files
body: <p>I am building a MP3 player for iOS that plays audio files hosted on the web. I want to offer the ability to play the files offline so I have the files downloading using ASIHTTP but I am cannot seem to find info on initiallzing AVPlayer with a mp3 in the app documents directory. Has anyone done this before? Is it even possible?</p>
  
  <p>*I posted an answer below that shows how to use the iOS AvPlayer for both local and http files. Hope this helps!</p>
