As promised, in this post I will describe adding the music from a CD to the iPad music folder in the simplest, most direct way I can.<\/p>\n
Many people now have an iPad as their sole computing device because it’s a supremely simple and portable way to access the things computers are most commonly used for. However, it doesn’t have a fraction of the functionality of a laptop unless you can hook it up to a computer to manage content! So, to add the music from a CD, we must obtain access to a computer running iTunes software (PC or Mac) and\u00a0 a CD drive:<\/p>\n
1. Connect iPad to the USB port of the computer.<\/p>\n
2, Open ITunes software and login with the Apple ID used on the iPad.<\/p>\n
3. Click on “My Music Tab” to open the music library for the account.<\/p>\n
4. Insert an audio\u00a0 CD<\/p>\n
\u00a0\u00a0 -A message will appear asking you to confirm that you wish to add all the tracks on the CD to the library.<\/em><\/p>\n Either<\/strong> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 – iTunes imports all tracks from the the CD into an ‘Album’ of the same name.<\/em><\/p>\n Or \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/em>In the list of tracks, untick all the tracks you do not wish to import. Then click on Import CD (top right of window)<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 – iTunes imports just selected tracks from the the CD into an ‘Album’ of the same name.<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n 7.\u00a0 Start to drag the Album to the left – a list of places will appear to which it can be added. Drag it to the named iPad\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 and release.<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 -iTunes adds the Album to the music folder on the iPad<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n So that’s it! Of course, we could have imported the audio with lots of changes of settings but the beginner should just accept the defaults.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n To add a file to the from the computer to the iPad’s music folder:<\/strong><\/p>\n 1. Open the drop down file menu and select “Add File to Library”<\/p>\n 2. Navigate to the file, select it and click “Open”<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 -iTunes adds it to the list of “Songs” in the Library<\/em><\/p>\n 3. From the Song list, start to drag the file to the left<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0 – a list of places to which you can add it appears<\/em><\/p>\n 4, Drag the file to the named iPad in the list of locations and release<\/p>\n \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 -iTunes adds the file to the music folder on the iPad<\/em><\/p>\n (Change from ‘Album’ view to ‘Song’ view in the drop down menu, top right of ‘My Music’ window).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" As promised, in this post I will describe adding the music from a CD to the iPad music folder in the simplest, most direct way I can.
