func mediaPicker(mediaPicker: MPMediaPickerController, didPickMediaItems mediaItemCollection: MPMediaItemCollection) {
let documentsUrl = NSFileManager.defaultManager().URLsForDirectory(.DocumentDirectory, inDomains: .UserDomainMask).first!
do {
// Get the directory contents urls (including subfolders urls)
let directoryContents = try NSFileManager.defaultManager().contentsOfDirectoryAtURL( documentsUrl, includingPropertiesForKeys: nil, options: [])
let mp3Files = directoryContents.filter{ $0.pathExtension == "m4a" }
let mp3FileNames = mp3Files.flatMap({$0.URLByDeletingPathExtension?.lastPathComponent})
} catch let error as NSError {
}
let name = "/aFileName"
var filePath = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(.DocumentDirectory, .UserDomainMask, true).first
print("\nfilePath: \(filePath)")
filePath = filePath!.stringByAppendingString(name)
print("\nfilePath: \(filePath)")
var filePathURL = NSURL.fileURLWithPath(filePath!)
print("\nfilePathURL: \(filePathURL)")
let item: MPMediaItem = mediaItemCollection.items[0]
print(item)
exportFiles = (item.valueForProperty(MPMediaItemPropertyAssetURL) as? NSURL)!
print(exportFiles)
// Export the ipod library as .m4a file to local directory for remote upload
let exportSession = AVAssetExportSession(asset: AVAsset(URL: exportFiles), presetName: AVAssetExportPresetAppleM4A)
print(exportFiles)
exportSession?.shouldOptimizeForNetworkUse = true
print(exportSession)
playingMusictitle = item.valueForProperty(MPMediaItemPropertyTitle) as? String ?? "Now Playing..."
print("\(exportFiles), title : \(title) ")
let str = exportFiles.absoluteString
let str2 = str!.stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString("ipod-library://item/item", withString: "")
print(str2)
let arr = str2.componentsSeparatedByString("?")

self.soundFileURL = documentsDirectoryy.URLByAppendingPathComponent(audioname)
if NSFileManager.defaultManager().fileExistsAtPath(soundFileURL.absoluteString!) {
// probably won't happen. want to do something about it?
print("soundfile \(soundFileURL.absoluteString) exists")
}

Due to copyright protection you can only play songs from music library. You can't access row audio file!.I guess
