Playing music within app

Question

I have a soundtrack I would like to play throughout my app even when users change view controllers and such. I have a loop from a soundtrack that I want to repeat once it finishes. I am currently playing sounds through:

NSString *soundFile = [[NSBundle mainBundle]
                       pathForResource:@"Click03" ofType:@"wav"];
AVAudioPlayer  *audioPlayer = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc]
               initWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL fileURLWithPath: soundFile]
               error:nil];
[audioPlayer start];
 // or [audioPlayer stop];

I am not quite sure if this the best way of playing sounds. Can someone explain to me how to do what I asked above? Thanks in advance!

Write code to play sound in Appdelegate.

-(void)PlaySound:(NSString*)strSoundFileName 
{
    fileURL=[[NSURL alloc] initFileURLWithPath:strSoundFileName];
    audioPlayer=[[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:fileURL error:nil];
    audioPlayer.delegate=self;
    [audioPlayer prepareToPlay];

    audioPlayer.currentTime=0;
    [audioPlayer play];
    audioPlayer.numberOfLoops=-1;
}
