Answer 1

Add

[NSNumber numberWithInt:kAudioFormatMPEGLayer3] forKey:AVFormatIDKey

However it's impossible to encode mp3 format at IPhone because of royalty.

Answer 2

Whilst you can play MP3 files using AVAudioPlayer, you can't record in MP3 format with AVAudioRecorder (see this SO post and this SO post). If you need a compressed format, but it doesn't have to be MP3, I suggest recording in AAC format.
