I am working on storing a list of audio files into my document directory and then fetching them.
It gives me a list of audio files along with this it gives me a file with name @".DS_Store". While fetching content I want to leave this file of documents directory.
Is there any way I can get rid of this while fetching the audio list other than removing this from array or apply a @".DS_Store" check.
What exactly is the reason for this.?

Any help would be appreciated.

Filter your document directory contents. For example, if you are having audio files with extension of .mp3, then you can get all the mp3 files as below:
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
NSArray *directoryContent = [[NSFileManager defaultManager] contentsOfDirectoryAtPath:documentsDirectory error:NULL];
directoryContent = [directoryContent filteredArrayUsingPredicate:
[NSPredicate predicateWithFormat:@"pathExtension ==[c] %@", @"mp3"]];
This will omit all other files than the mp3 files.. All the best!!!
