You can allow the user to pick songs using the MPMediaPickerController class. I think you can save the selected item to your app's sandbox directory.

You can read up on this a bit more with this SO question.

Yes, you can. I can't speak for video, because I've only done it for audio, but you can definitely get audio data. These links should get you started. Note: I am as yet unsure if this works with tracks that use any kind of iTunes-related DRM.

First of all, this blog post talks you through the method of accessing the data. Note the reliance on iOS 4.1 or above.

This SO question/answer explains how to get at the raw pcm data, should you want to do more than just save it out.
