I would like to create a view similar to the "Now Playing" page on the iPhone and have 3 lines of text in the Navigation bar.

The only way I could find to do this was:

UINavigationBar *bar = [self.navigationController navigationBar];   
label = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(60, 2, 200, 14)];
label.tag = SONG_TAG;
label.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
label.font = [UIFont boldSystemFontOfSize:14];
label.adjustsFontSizeToFitWidth = NO;
label.textAlignment = UITextAlignmentCenter;
label.textColor = [UIColor whiteColor];
label.highlightedTextColor = [UIColor blackColor];
[bar addSubview:label];
[label release];

//Create album label
label = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(60, 17, 200, 12)];
label.tag = ALBUM_TAG;
label.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
label.font = [UIFont systemFontOfSize:12];
label.adjustsFontSizeToFitWidth = NO;
label.textAlignment = UITextAlignmentCenter;
label.highlightedTextColor = [UIColor blackColor];
label.textColor = HEXCOLOR(0xA5A5A5ff);
[bar addSubview:label];
[label release];

//Create artist label
label = [[UILabel alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(60, 30, 200, 12)];
label.tag = ARTIST_TAG;
label.backgroundColor = [UIColor clearColor];
label.font = [UIFont systemFontOfSize:12];
label.adjustsFontSizeToFitWidth = NO;
label.textAlignment = UITextAlignmentCenter;
label.highlightedTextColor = [UIColor blackColor];
label.textColor = HEXCOLOR(0xA5A5A5ff);
[bar addSubview:label];
[label release];

The problem with this is I have to remove them when the view changes. So, in -viewWillDisappear I have:

UILabel *label;
label = (UILabel *)[self.navigationController.navigationBar viewWithTag:SONG_TAG];
[label removeFromSuperview];
label = (UILabel *)[self.navigationController.navigationBar viewWithTag:ALBUM_TAG];
[label removeFromSuperview];
label = (UILabel *)[self.navigationController.navigationBar viewWithTag:ARTIST_TAG];
[label removeFromSuperview];

I think the way to do this is make a custom view that has the 3 labels in it, and add this to the title view. (here's the catch - you can only add 1 label or view to the title view spot on the nav bar)

self.navigationItem.titleView = newViewIMadeWithThreeLabels
