How to use NSURLRequest / NSURLConnection to download an mp3 file to app?

Question

The Situation
In my app, I am currently downloading an mp3 file (to docs directory) using [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:URL], a method that works fine, but ties down the CPU, dissallowing screen updates of download status. So, I want to download using a different method so that I can update the screen WHILE downloading to alert the user that the download has begun.

Question
How do I set up my viewController to use NSURLRequest or NSURLConnection to download an mp3 file? (please give source)

Solution

Use "NSURLConnection asynchronously" search for the term and you'll find source. Or just NSURLConnection.

For example:

NSURLConnection NSURLRequest proxy for asynchronous web service calls
