Using AVPlayer for streamed audio, when I select a audio, I call
[mySong addObserver:self forKeyPath:@"status" options:0 context:nil]

I then use
observeValueForKeyPath: ofObject: change: context:

to observe the [ofObject status] for the standard three values:

AVPlayerStatusReadyToPlay, AVPlayerStatusUnknown, and AVPlayerStatusFailed

and call the button's -setBackgroundImage ("Stop" version) when 
AVPlayerStatusReadyToPlay.

My question is:
Do I have to set up a 2nd KVO call-back method to monitor whether the selected 
audio has ended naturally?  I need to know when the audio is finished so I can 
call the set the button's backgroundImage to the "Play" variety.

For example, according to the AV Foundation Programming Guide, I'm supposed to 
use:

[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
      selector:@selector(playerItemDidReachEnd:)
         name:AVPlayerItemDidPlayToEndTimeNotification
        object:[player currentItem]];

Is there any way of using just one call-back for both PlayerStatus and 
DidPlayToEnd?

Someone else suggested having each method call a 3rd common one … but if I do 
that, I might as well stay with 2.

I sure would like to just use [NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver: 
… and combine in it my [mySong addObserver: method.

Thanks bunches.
