The problem is the music shuts off when the phone goes into auto lock. Can anyone help me correct this issue.

Would it be the webview.m? Around Line # 129? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Find your app's delegate file. Find the "didFinishLaunching" method. It's in that method that yo'll want to set the timerDisabled value to YES. The idea is that when your app first launches, you'll "turn on" the disabled property of the auto-lock timer. Then, your app won't ever enter auto-lock mode.
