The point is, if the only difference between an LTWMusicViewController and an LTWRockMusicViewController is that the latter defaults to the “Rock” category, then you don’t actually *need* the LTWRockMusicViewController subclass. You just need to ensure that when you want an LTWMusicViewController created with the Rock category, that you ensure it is set as such.
So in -prepareForSegue, you get the instance of LTWMusicViewController that is about to be transitioned to, set its category to Rock, and your done. No need for subclassing at all.
