-(void) mediaPicker: (MPMediaPickerController *) mediaPicker didPickMediaItems:  (MPMediaItemCollection *) mediaItemCollection
{


    if (mediaItemCollection)
    {
        NSArray *items = [mediaItemCollection items];
        for( int n=0; n < items.count; n++ )    {
            MPMediaItem *mediaItem = [items objectAtIndex:n];
            NSLog(@"%@=========>",[mediaItem valueForProperty:MPMediaItemPropertyTitle]);
        }

        MPMusicPlayerController *musicPlayer = [MPMusicPlayerController iPodMusicPlayer];
        [musicPlayer setQueueWithItemCollection: mediaItemCollection];
        NSLog(@"==>%@",musicPlayer);


    }
    [self dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:^(void) {}];
}

You're going to get all the songs in your library with this so the printout might take a while! Read up on MPMediaItem Class Reference and media queries to see how to get a subset of your entire music library.
