I'm trying to get Bass to load in music from the iOS music library (using StreamCreateFile), but every time I load the file I get the FILEFORM error. I feel confident that my code is correct, as it is able to load in a variety of file formats provided they are an external URL. However, once file path is provided for a song within the application document folder, I get the error. I'm moving the song from iTunes to the documents folder. Any ideas why this would be, and how to resolve it?

A BASS_ERROR_FILEFORM error indicates that BASS was able to open the file, but it was unable to recognise/handle the file's format. Please confirm what the file's format is, and how you're importing it into your app's sandbox. If you aren't already doing so, you could try using this class to do it...

After spending a better part of the day trying to get this to work, I'm still having issues with BASS reading the file.

Sending one of these paths into Bass:
/localhost/var/mobile/Applications/684062D5-9670-4FFD-B756-726EF40798C7/Documents/song.m4a
/private/var/mobile/Applications/684062D5-9670-4FFD-B756-726EF40798C7/Documents/song.m4a
/var/mobile/Applications/684062D5-9670-4FFD-B756-726EF40798C7/Documents/song.m4a

Using code (c#):
BASS_SetConfig(34, 0);
BASS_Init(-1, 44100, 0, 0, IntPtr.Zero);
BASS_StreamCreateFile(false, path, 0, 0, BASSFlag.BASS_UNICODE);

The file is being properly copied into the sandbox document folder, but the file cannot be loaded. I can download the documents directory via Xcode and play the file in iTunes on my mac. Any ideas on what's going on?

Please upload the "song.m4a" file that you took from your app's sandbox to have a look at here...

No need, got it working. The issue was related to complications from the native bridge between C# and C/Obj-C. Thanks for all your help!
