Have absolutely no music or audio recordings on your computer? Here are a few ways to get some tracks on your iPad.
You can use iTunes to transform tracks from your existing audio CDs into iPad-ready digital music files. Start up iTunes and stick a CD in your computer's disc drive. The program asks if you want to import the CD into iTunes. If you're connected to the Internet, iTunes automatically downloads song titles and artist information for the CD.
Once you tell it to import music, iTunes gets to work and begins adding the songs to your library. You can import all of the tracks from a CD, but if you do not want every song, turn off the checkbox next to the titles you would like iTunes to skip. Eject the CD when iTunes is performed converting the files.
If you have had a computer for longer than the usual few years, odds are you have some songs in the popular MP3 format on your hard drive. When you start iTunes for the first time, the program asks if you want to search your PC or Mac for music and combine it with iTunes. Click "Yes" and iTunes will go fetch.
A different way to get music for your iTunes library and iPad is to find it from the iTunes Store. Once you possess an iTunes account, you can buy and download audio recordings directly on the iPad or via iTunes on your desktop computer. To look the Store from the PC or Mac side, click the iTunes Store icon in the list on the left side of the iTunes window and browse until you find something you like.
Unless you buy music and audiobooks on the iPad itself, you need to include it to the iPad by syncing your 'Pad with iTunes. If you curently have music on your iPad, read onto see how to organize and control it.
The iPad includes a Photos icon and a Videos icon. If you're looking for a Music icon - because that would make some sense - think before. Apple has chosen to place all of the iPad's music functions in the iPod menu, so tap ipod and iphone icon on the Home screen: The iPad divvies in the iPod screen into four distinct areas:
Controls & Search bar. Located towards the top of the screen are the audio playback controls, like volume, next/previous buttons for moving between songs and also the time counter for the track that's playing. The Search box is also there, in the top-right corner, if you need to locate a tune fast.
Library. As in iTunes, your music, podcast, and audiobook tracks are grouped under tappable sub-menus, as are any playlists you've added. The Now Playing pane in the bottom-left corner shows the coverage of the current selection; tap it to get to the giant Now Playing screen.
Bottom bar. The low edge of the iPod window is further concerned with music organization. Click the plus icon to produce a playlist with the songs you select. Click the atom-shaped Genius icon to achieve the iPad automatically generate a playlist based on songs like the one currently selected. In the center from the bar, click the appropriate button to show your music collection by Songs, Artists, Albums, Genres, or Composers.
Main window. No matter which media collection you choose to see - music, podcasts, audiobooks, or playlists - the iPad displays track names in the center of the screen. Most views show cover art in one size or any other, except for Songs, which shows a text list of tracks, and Genre, which shows themed art depicting "Folk," "R&B," and so on.
