How can I export an mp3 file from an iOS device's iPod library?

In my iOS application I'm trying to export an mp3 file from the iPod library to the app's documents directory on the device. Currently I'm trying to use AVAssetExportSession but it's not working for mp3 files. It works well for m4a files.

  • Is exporting an mp3 file possible using AVAssetExportSession?

  • What is the appropriate outputFileType for AVAssetExportSession? (AVFileTypeAppleM4A works for m4a files)

Thanks!

        if mediaItemCollection.count > 0 {

            let mediaItem = mediaItemCollection.items[0]
            let assetURL = mediaItem.value(forProperty: MPMediaItemPropertyAssetURL)
            let mediaAsset = AVURLAsset(url: assetURL as! URL, options: nil)

            let exportTimeRange = CMTimeRangeFromTimeToTime(startTime, stopTime)
            exporter?.timeRange = exportTimeRange

            exporter?.exportAsynchronously(completionHandler: { 
                //

                if status == AVAssetExportSessionStatus.completed {

                    print("AVAssetExportSessionStatus successfull")
                    //do further code for exported file here
                }
            })
        }
    }
