As you know, Apple's iPad looks and behaves like a scaled-up version of an iPod Touch or iPhone, but there are some key differences that distinguish the iPad from its pocket-size comrades. One of these differences, surprisingly, is music playback.

 

Music on the iPad feels more like iTunes than the iPod or iPhone.

Clicking on the iPod icon sitting in the virtual tray at the bottom of the iPad opens up a music browser that looks nothing like any previous generation of iPod or iPhone, but instead, works like a stripped-down version of Apple's iTunes music software.

 

There's the familiar iTunes grey bar running across the top, with playback controls, a volume slider, a search box and the little progress/scrubber bar. Playlists are perpetually pinned to a sidebar, along with icons for audio books, music, music videos and podcasts. Across the bottom you'll find buttons for creating genius playlists or standard playlists, along with tabs to sort your music by songs, artists, albums, genres or composers. Pressing on the cover art in the bottom left corner will expand the artwork to full screen.

 

But in spite of how much the iPad's music browser looks and acts like iTunes, it's really a bit of a hybrid between the iTunes interface and the capabilities of the iPod's browser. For better or worse, there are no extensive preferences to tweak, no sorting options beyond the previously mentioned tabs, no importing of audio beyond over-the-air purchases and media transferred from your computer and no smart playlists.

 

But one of the failures of iTunes is the inability to copy ipad music to itunes library without the third party utilities. But there are many people who ask how to do it. Here we recommend the world's best ipad to mac transfer software. With its friendly interface, even a novice can use it.
