Play multiple Audio Files with AVPlayer

I'm trying to play multiple sounds at the same time.

The approach initially I've taken was to create several players , but it seems wrong one.

What's the best way to play several audio files at the same time.

Is it through making them AVAssets, but in this case how would I stop and play them whenever I want.

Really appreciate your help.

The reason I need AVPlayer is to fetch sounds from the iPod Library.

I finally got an answer from TechSupport of Apple Dev Team and it seems I'm on the right track when I decided to use several AVPlayer.

For every sound you want to make make a new AVPlayer.

NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:pathToYourFile];
AVPlayer *audioPlayer = [[AVPlayer alloc] initWithURL:url];
[audioPlayer play];
