**what have you tried?** because when you would have started to set up the `AVAudioSession` you should have got the answer to this question... It seems you haven't done anything yet. — holex, Aug 30 '12 at 14:28

solved:

add mediaplayer.frameworks and import:

#import <MediaPlayer/MediaPlayer.h>

then copy those code to needed place.

if ([[MPMusicPlayerController iPodMusicPlayer] playbackState] == MPMusicPlaybackStatePlaying){
    NSLog(@"backgroud music is playing"); 
    return;
}
