Accessing iPhone playback data

I want to be able to pull out the user's 50 most recently played songs, then be able to sort that via artist/album/genre etc. How can I make this happen immediately upon the app's opening and what would be the best way (I'm thinking dictionary?) to bundle this up so I can send it to a server?

Thanks!

MPMediaItemPropertyLastPlayedDate might be what you're looking for. See this related question for how to access the various media item properties.

Your app delegate's applicationDidBecomeActive: method would be an appropriate place to scan on-launch, and an NSDictionary converted to JSON should be suitable serialization format.

Be sure to inform the user before sending their data off to your server, however.
