Re: NSData dataWithContentsOfFile - freeWhenDone:NO ?

I'm using [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile] to load an AIFF file. I was wondering if there is a way to make it freeWhenDone:NO so I can delete the NSData object and keep the bytes. Audio files can be pretty big so I was hoping to avoid having to copy the bytes if possible.


Another question might be to ask why are you trying to load the entire file into memory? If its of any significant length then that is quite a large allocation...
