Prevent MPMusicPlayerController from playing next song in que

I am creating an app that has a playlist and uses the MediaPlayer library. When a song ends I don't want the next song to start. I tried to use the MPMusicPlayerControllerNowPlayingItemDidChangeNotification to pause the music player when the song changes, but the song starts to play before I get the chance to stop it. I also tried to use KVO to track the changes to musicPlayer.currentPlaybackTime, but I only receive messages when i manually change the playback time. I can't find any information about this problem anywhere.

Are you calling:

player.beginGeneratingPlaybackNotifications()

before adding the observers?

In my app I have shuffle and repeat off, and create a queue with only one song in it, then send that to the music player. When the song finishes, there aren't any other songs in the queue, so it stops playing.

That being said, the latest iOS update has stopped reporting the correct playback state when the song finishes and is reporting it as paused when it used to be stopped. Not sure if that's a side-effect of the above method or not.
