That said, I have this line in the dictionary I'm parsing:

<key>Track ID</key><integer>3363</integer>

And this is how I'm trying to grab it (currentTrack is an NSDictionary that contains the information):

NSNumber *tID = [NSNumber numberWithUnsignedInt:[currentTrack objectForKey:@"Track ID"]];
NSString *trackID = [NSString stringWithString:[tID stringValue]];
NSLog(trackID);

Obviously something isn't working right (otherwise I wouldn't be asking a question....). What I'm logging are numbers that are waaaaay too large:

2005-06-10 11:43:13.687 MyApp[729] 68160640

The largest number I should be getting is 3363. Not 68.5 million. What do I need to do to get that integer correctly? (and sorry for a dumb question)

The problem is that [currentTrack objectForKey:@"Track ID"] already returns a NSNumber, not an integer.

First, try NSLog([currentTrack description]) to ensure that the dictionary contains the correct value.

Then, try:

NSNumber *num = [currentTrack objectForKey:@"Track ID"];

NSString *str = [num stringValue];

NSLog(str);

Good Luck,
