Sound stops when iPhone goes to sleep

I have an app in which the primary function is to play relaxing sounds for several minutes at a time. The sounds are activated by buttons on the screen. It all works perfectly until the iphone goes to sleep, at which point the currently playing sound stops. Is there a way to make the sound continue to play even when the iPhone's screen automatically goes black?

I was able to add the code and keep it there by using the File menu to publish, but the sounds still stop when the phone goes to sleep. Here's the section of code from the application descriptor:

<InfoAdditions><![CDATA[<key>UIDeviceFamily</key><array><string>1</string></array><key>UIBackgroundModes</key>

<array>

<string>audio</string>

</array>]]></InfoAdditions>

</iPhone>

</application>

I must still be doing something wrong...

Is the space in the word "string" really there?

Ha, I didn't notice that. It's not really there though.

Are you missing the UIBackgroundModes tag in the application descriptor?

<key>UIBackgroundModes</key> <array> <string>audio</string>  </array>

I tried to manually add that code to the InfoAdditions section of the XML file, but it got erased automatically when I published the app. Did I do it the wrong way?

Use Publish from the File menu, not from the settings dialog. If you do it from the settings dialog is will re-write the app descriptor file, and may undo your manual changes.
