Narrative:
On approach to ZZZ at 3000 ft msl I gave a position report at 15 nautical miles from the airport with altitude and call sign and proposed landing runway. An aircraft which had departed at about the same time as I had responded that he had me in sight down there and would follow me into runway 25. At 12 miles out I again gave a position report with GPS distance from the airport and altitude. I then heard a CTAF call out from another aircraft that he was looking for traffic. A short time later said that he had me 'on the box'. I immediately responded on CTAF that I was 11.1 miles off ZZZ at 2900 feet MSL. Immediately after my CTAF call an aircraft flew directly over my aircraft at less than 300 feet. The plane continued in a straight un-interrupted line for the runway threshhold. I called out on CTAF that 'you just flew over the top of me.' all indications were that the aircraft never saw me and my communication was not answered.on landing just a few minutes later I walked up to the aircraft and spoke to the captain. I told him that he almost hit me in midair. He told me that another pilot was playing music on the frequency and he was distracted. He said that he would talk to the other pilot because that behavior was not professional. He told me that the near miss was his fault. I told him that the last thing that we needed was a midair collision that would kill us all. I then ended the conversation and walked back to my aircraft.

Title: C208 pilot reported a NMAC with a B1900 while on approach to the same runway. The pilot reported he made several calls on CTAF announcing his position and intentions.
