Get Music and Audio for Your iPad
Have absolutely no music or audio files on your computer, ready for transfer to your iPad? Here are a few ways to get them there. (If you’ve had an iPod for years and have the music-transfer thing down cold, feel free to skip to the next page to see how the iPad organizes your music once you get it on there.)
You can use iTunes to convert tracks from your 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 it doesn’t, click the Import CD button at the bottom right of the iTunes window.) If you’re connected to the Internet, iTunes automatically downloads song titles and artist information for the CD. (Yes, strange as it may seem, music managers like iTunes don’t get information about an album from the album itself, they search for it in a huge database on the Web.)
