And the iPad is a relic of the past; users of Apple products have long learned to bypass the requirement to synchronize the device with a PC and download music to the gadget through other computer software (in particular, iTools) or directly from the Internet. Applications available in the AppStore and in an alternative store can help you load your favorite songs into the device’s memory. Cydia– the article will tell you in detail how to use such programs and how to access the iPhone file system to install tweaks.
Jailbreak(literally translated from English – jail break) is the process of hacking the firmware of the iOS operating system, upon completion of which the user gains full access to the file system of the iPhone or iPad. It must be said that jailbreaking has been a completely legal operation since 2010 (recognized as such by the US Government), but not supported by Apple. Representatives of the company intimidate users that jailbreaking can lead to the failure of the gadget, however, according to mobile experts, this is not true.
Jailbreaking is possible due to vulnerabilities in the security systems of Apple gadgets. There are a lot of simple utilities freely available on the Internet that allow you to jailbreak at home - such utilities include redsnOw, Absinthe and others. The participation of the user in the process is minimal: you need to download and run the utility, connect the gadget to the PC, enter the device into the required mode ( DFU) and wait for the computer program to notify you that the operation is complete.
Jailbreaking provides many benefits:
- The user can download applications not only from the AppStore, but also from alternative stores, such as Cydia. The situation is reminiscent of the “black market”: on Cydia presents programs that were not allowed into the AppStore due to an excessively strict selection process.
- Jailbreak allows you to change the iPhone interface.
- Finally, jailbreak allows you to download music to your iPhone without synchronizing via iTunes and without connecting the gadget to your PC at all using special downloader applications.
Despite the fact that the likelihood of a gadget failing due to jailbreak is minimal, this procedure still carries some risks:
- Personal data is protected to a lesser extent.
- The iPhone is void of warranty because jailbreaking is contrary to the terms of the license agreement with Apple. If the user discovers a factory malfunction and takes the gadget for service, he will be refused service without hesitation. In the event of a breakdown, it is recommended to restore the firmware, completely erasing all traces of the previous hack.
UC Browser: a browser that does it all!
Built-in browser Safari will allow the user to listen to a musical composition, but if the owner of the iPhone wants to download the song, he will definitely not succeed. It is doubtful that the functionality Safari will someday be expanded to such an extent that downloading ringtones will be available, because this is contrary to Apple policy. This means that in order to download music via the Internet, you will have to look for another browser.
A worthy option is one who came from the Middle Kingdom UC Browser. The browser is distinguished not only by its cross-platform functionality (suitable for both iOS and Android, for example), but also by the presence of advanced functions for downloading content directly from the Internet. You can download content with or without jailbreak.
Download music to iPhone from the Internet via UC Browser according to this instruction:
An important advantage lies in the fact that all downloaded media files are automatically sorted by type - Video, Image, Music. However, UC Browser there are also disadvantages:
- All compositions are named Untitled. You can rename it manually, but this already means that you cannot do without additional losses of time. In addition, there is a high risk of confusion if several songs are downloaded at once.
- Tracks are not available in the standard iPhone app " Music».
- Tracks are not collected into playlists and are not played in order - each subsequent one must be turned on manually.
Bridge: guest from Cydia!
Another option to download music from the Internet is only suitable for jailbroken devices. You need to use a tweak (that's what applications from Cydia are called) called Bridge, located in the well-known BigBoss repository (storage). The main advantages of the tweak are that it allows you to add files to the standard application’s media library “ Music", makes it possible to edit the metadata of songs and costs little - $2 is affordable for any iPhone user.
Instructions for using the tweak Bridge is this:
It seems that downloading music via Bridge– an option without any disadvantages, however, there is still one drawback: the program is quite picky about download links. For correct downloading, the user needs to find a direct link that does not require registration with a login and password, entering a captcha and a redirect.
File Master: a jack of all trades!
File Master considered one of the most effective file managers for iPhone. This application allows you to download music to your iPhone without connecting to a computer and is freely available in the AppStore - iPhone owners can breathe a sigh of relief, because for installation File Master No jailbreak required.
Download music to iPhone without a computer using File Master It’s easy – you just need to follow these instructions:
It is easy to see that by the way the manager is used File Master similar to the application UC Browser although the functionality of the latter is disproportionately higher.
Conclusion
Ability to download music from the Internet to iPhone without a computer yes – software developers long ago created cures for iTunes addiction and introduced programs to the world UC Browser And File Master. However, the user must be prepared that he will have to put up with inconveniences - for example, the inability to play his favorite tracks through the standard Apple application " Music"and create playlists from songs downloaded in a pirated manner.
After reading the title, an experienced user will exclaim: “Where did such questions come from, did you just grab it and download it?” But, for your information, such users are in the minority, and the rest require various explanations, which this article will serve as.
Downloading music to iPad using synchronization
This method, as can be understood from the title, involves adding music to the service’s library and then downloading it to the device. The most inconvenient, slowest, but the most reliable way.
- Open the iTunes service, and in it the “Music” section
Here you will need to click the “Search media” button or independently “drag” the music that you would like to download to your device onto iTunes. The addition will happen automatically, as shown in the screenshot.
- Connect the iPad to the computer using a USB interface
We connect the iPad to a PC or laptop via a USB interface
Once detected by iTunes, you will need to go to it and click on the “Music” section. Here, check the “Synchronize music” checkbox. You have two options: synchronize absolutely all the music in the service’s media library through “Entire Media Library” or select something specific using “Selected Playlists..”
- Click “Apply” or “Synchronize” (optional)
The process of synchronizing the iPad and iTunes will take place, and then, by going to the iPad in the “Music” section, we can already see the musical compositions that we just downloaded, already on it.
How to download music tracks without synchronization?
The easiest and most suitable way to download music tracks to an iPad in this case is to use third-party software, such as iTools.
It is not always convenient to constantly and step-by-step synchronize an iPad with a PC or laptop to download tracks, because this method of downloading has long been unpopular. Once upon a time, mobile Internet was slow, and wi-fi was a luxury, but at that time this method of downloading was relevant.
We will talk about ways to download audio tracks without connecting an iPad via USB ports later, but for now we will talk about downloading without synchronizing with the iTunes library.
- Reconnect the device to the PC and go to iTunes
After we have entered iTunes, which is already familiar to us, we select the iPad and in the “Browse” parameter, scrolling down, we find the option “Process music...”. Depending on the situation, pop-ups may appear; agree to everything they offer if they do appear. Next, go to “On my device” - “Music”.
- Now we transfer music compositions to the iPad, bypassing the media library
A remark is needed here. Old music from your iPad will not disappear anywhere, but if you turn off the “Process music and video manually” option, the program will inform you that all media content will be replaced with content from your media library, that is, in this case, all music will be deleted.
Downloading audio tracks to your device without connecting to a computer
How to download music to iPad without connecting it to a computer? It's simple. As we said earlier, you will need software and a little patience.
- myMedia app
A completely free application available to everyone. The program is designed for downloading media files directly to the iPad and subsequent playback. At the time of writing, there are no restrictions on the number of downloads, but this information needs to be checked. Now the application is available in the Appstore in Russian and is free.
It should be noted that you cannot transfer music downloaded here to a standard iPad player. You can listen to it in similar applications and programs, even send it by mail or through other file managers, but you won’t be able to listen to it in a standard player
it will succeed.
- Download via browser and related sites
On the Internet you can find many different sites where you can download music. Some are full of various advertising banners and teasers, so the convenience of their use is called into question. Others are easy to use, but the number of songs in their music library leaves much to be desired. Find a resource that suits you and download music from there without using iTunes if this causes you inconvenience.
In conclusion, I would like to add that there are many more different ways to download music to iPad, but this article describes the most reliable and proven methods. There are clients for social networks on the Internet, where songs are saved in the application cache and listened to in the appropriate sections. Use your device wisely and use only proven methods to download content.
Apple products are famous not only for the quality of their products, but also for their appearance; when you take an iPod, iPhone, iPad or other device, you have the feeling that you have taken an expensive and high-quality gadget. In addition to the appearance inside, they have a convenient and easy-to-use operating system. But as always, in a barrel of honey you can’t do without a fly in the ointment, and this is how this is expressed - 1 price (although we must not forget that a good product is not cheap) and some imposed difficulties in work, here is one example - you wanted it, not It's that simple, you just need to use iTunes. Copying music, video or images will not be difficult, perhaps from any operating system (Android, for example), just plug the device into your computer/laptop and drop all the necessary files by dragging and dropping (like on a USB flash drive). This will not work for Apple products; all multimedia files (music, pictures, videos) must be downloaded only through the iTunes program. In my opinion, this is not a very convenient solution, but if you are willing to put up with such minor inconveniences, then Apple products are for you. In this article I will show how to copy music to iPod, iPhone, iPad.
The essence transfer music from computer/laptop to iPod, iPhone, iPad boils down to this:
1 Installation, launching iTunes on your computer/laptop;
2 Transfer music to iTunes;
3 Sync music from iTunes to iPod, iPhone, iPad;
4 Removing iPod, iPhone, iPad.

If it is not installed, go to the official Apple website and download the latest version of iTunes . Installing the program is simple and comes down to a few clicks of the "Continue" button. After installation, an iTunes shortcut will appear on your desktop, launch it.
If you have a MacBook Pro, Air, iMac, or Mac mini, you don't need to install iTunes because it's already installed. To do this, just launch it from the Dock.

iPad, the brainchild of Apple, has appeared on the shelves of domestic stores relatively recently. Tablet computers of this type have a number of capabilities; the average person usually does not have problems when using the gadget, but still the process of downloading music to the device often causes difficulties.
There are several solutions: using iTunes, without it, using third-party programs, from the computer’s hard drive or via Wi-Fi.
Download via iTunes
The most popular method is transfer from the computer's hard drive. Let's start with it. Open iTunes and music in Explorer. Move the required album or song to iTunes.
After that we connect the iPad. When iTunes saw it, go to the iPad - Music tab. The necessary checkboxes are checked there.
Download via AVPlayer
It is also possible to stream music over Wi-Fi using avplayer. Music transferred in this way can only be listened to in avplayer, and cannot be moved to a standard player.
Download via Downloads for iPad - Download Manager
If you wish, you can install a download manager and download music with its help.
Download via Free Music Download Pro
One of the few programs that allows you to download the necessary music without unnecessary headaches. The program is free, which is nice. It has a built-in browser. We install the program, go into it, then into the browser and download the tracks you like.
Download your favorite songs. The application has convenient folder and file management.
You can listen in the same program, which provides an intuitive interface. The peculiarity of this program is that it is possible to transfer music from it to the official player. How to do this - the program contains detailed instructions.
Download via Free MP3 Downloader Pro
The program is the same type, but with some additions. It has a more user-friendly interface and the browser works correctly. Playing music is accompanied by animation.
Also, before saving, the program asks in which folder the file should be saved. More difficult to master, but the results will be obvious.
Sometimes there is a need to download music to iPad from a disk. This is not a difficult matter, but it has its tricks. If your disk is homemade or pirated, then you will receive an image like this:
This means that the song titles have not been decided. Click “no” and rename them manually.
If the disc is licensed, then we will get this picture:
Or you can click “no” and configure the transfer parameters in more detail, such as recording quality, stream, and much more.
And finally, the last way is without using iTunes. In my opinion, the best alternative is a program called foobar2000. Download this program, and after installation copy C:\Program Files\Foobar2000\Components, along this path there are two components foo_dop.dll and iPhoneCalc.dll.
In the Tools section we look for iPad Manager (or iPod).
There are enough settings here, there will be something to experiment with. The most important thing is not to forget to enable Mobile device support, after which the program is rebooted by the user.
Adding songs to iPad. The program is quite easy to use; to download music, select iPad - Send to iPad.
This method is convenient for those who do not use the library. For others there will also be no problems - File\iPad\Synchronise…

The joy of buying a new iPad (iPad, iPad) for users who have never worked with iOS technology before often turns into sadness when, when connecting their gadget to a PC, they suddenly discover that as an ordinary storage medium, or, simply put, how flash drive, the computer does not see it.
What can you do, this feature of Apple devices is a price to pay for the closedness of the iOS platform on which they all work. A closed operating system means maximum security, but minimal freedom for the user - you can’t just download or download anything onto an i-device, even your favorite tracks from your “native” PC. However, special tools will help you do this easily and quickly.
In this article we will tell you how you can download music to your iPad using these very special tools. By the way, these methods will also be relevant for downloading and listening to music from iPhone and iPad.
Let's start, of course, with the classics - iTunes.
iTunes is a special service created by Apple, in particular, for the convenient exchange of certain content between an i-device and a PC. Unfortunately, not everyone finds the program convenient, but you can’t do without it, because it allows you not only to upload various files to your gadget, but also, for example, to update or restore the device. In short, every self-respecting Apple fan should have this utility in their arsenal and be able to use it.
Of course, no one is forcing you to record music on your iPad using iTunes. Maybe in this material below you will find a more convenient way for yourself, but we simply cannot provide instructions on how to transfer audio files to an iPad using this must-have service from Apple.
Create a music collection on iPad using iTunes
So, how to record music on iPad using iTunes? To do this, follow the instructions:
1 Download and install iTunes. 2 Open the program, click the “File” menu, then “Add file to library...”.
3 A standard Windows Explorer will open in front of you, and you can use it to select any tracks on your PC and add music to iTunes. 
4 Connect the iPhone to the PC, when the program recognizes the device, a tablet icon will appear, click on it. 5 In the menu on the left, select the “Music” section. 
As you can see, iTunes works according to an interesting mechanism - first you need to transfer songs to the program itself, and then from it to the device. The scheme is unusual, but you can’t call it complicated, would you agree?
How to remove music from the native application?
You can delete tracks from the Music application on your iPad directly through its menu - just select the annoying song and click "Remove from My Music", but you can also use iTunes. The latter method is much more convenient if you need to delete many songs at once.
Using the program, removal can be performed in two ways.
If you are used to synchronizing your entire media library:
Otherwise, to remove annoying songs:
- Connect the tablet to the PC, wait until the device icon appears, click on it.
- Select the “Music” section, then check the “Synchronize music” checkbox.
- Select the tracks and albums you want to keep on your iPad, leave the ones you want to delete unchecked.
- Start synchronization by clicking "Apply".
Ready! Tracks that are checked will remain in the Music app, and unchecked tracks will be deleted.
Waltr program: a revolution in sharing content between PCs and i-devices
Well, as you can see, downloading music to an iPad using iTunes is not difficult, but for some reason there are quite a few users who dislike this program. It’s not scary, to help such users, third-party developers have created a bunch of alternative services available completely free of charge. Unfortunately, most of them only promise that copying music with their help is much easier than through iTunes, but in reality everything turns out to be different.
However, there is one service that actually helps save time and nerves that require learning a new interface - its name is Waltr. The program works really simply, see:
All! Please note that the music will be downloaded directly into the native application, despite such a simple scheme. And one more important point - this method is suitable for all types of files and any Apple mobile equipment.
With Waltr you can add not only tracks, but also videos, books, etc. on iPad, iPhone and iPod. Moreover, the instructions will be the same - the program itself recognizes the type of files and “shoves” them into native applications, tracks into “Music”, books into “iBook”, etc.
iTunes Store: not a free option for the lazy
Another way to listen to music from an iPad is to buy tracks from the iTunes Store - this method will really appeal to those who are too lazy to download something, master it, connect the device to a PC to transfer tracks, and don’t mind paying for their laziness.
The iTunes Store is a content store for i-techniques; the application is installed on all Apple devices by default. There is a wide variety of music here - from Christian operas to simple pop compositions.
To buy a track in the store, you just need to open the iTunes Store from your iPad, enter the name of the song in the search, go to it and click the price. Once the download is complete, which will vary depending on the quality of the Wi-Fi you're connected to, you'll be able to find your purchases in the Music app.
Free (!) methods for the lazy
Well, for dessert, so to speak. Of course, you won’t be surprised to know that there are a lot of third-party applications that make it possible to listen to music online and download it offline under certain conditions.
All these applications can be divided into two categories - “illegal” downloaders and official streaming services.
Streaming services
Another issue is streaming services that operate officially, have agreements with domestic and foreign music labels and comply with copyright law. Stream services work like this: users are invited to buy a subscription of a month or more for a reasonable price and listen/download music to their heart’s content. If you are a music lover, it will be much cheaper than buying each track separately from the iTunes Store, even if only for 19 rubles.
In 2015, the Apple giant introduced Apple Music - this is, let’s say, the official streaming service for iOS users. The service is cool, convenient, pleasant in terms of interface, but (!) paid. Its analogue, Google Play Music, is also excellent, but again paid.
Separate line: “Yandex.Music”
But “Yandex.Music” is a different matter, the same quality as the two previous services, but free! Although there is one rule - if you want to get free access to music from the most popular search engine in Russia, please create a mailbox on Yandex and... that's it! You will receive a huge amount of free functionality, it will be a little limited, but the main features are to listen to any compositions, create your own track lists, use “Radio”, etc. will be available to you.
The fly in the ointment is that tracks will only be downloaded offline if you buy a premium account.
Let's summarize
As you can see, there are simply a huge number of possibilities for downloading music to the iPad - programs for working with a PC, applications, streaming services, and finally, the banal iTunes Store.
Surely, one of the methods will suit you, and perhaps you will use several at once - at home, for example, you can listen to music via Wi-Fi via the Yandex streaming service, and when getting ready to travel, you can quickly upload your favorite tracks via iTunes or Waltr !
