I recently got some free music source from one of my best friends on my iPad. I was thinking it would be better to make a backup of these music files on my computer, but iTunes doesn't allow me to do that. I can only backup purchased music to iTunes. And if I need to restore them, it will overwrite the content music on my iPad. Besides, I also want to sync the music from iPad to iPhone so that I can listen to the songs on both my iOS devices. First thing first, I have to figure out how to get music from iPad to computer without iTunes.
Fortunately, I searched in the Google, and it provided me with some really good software for iPhone/iPad data transfer. What I like most is Qiling MobiMover Free, the only free iPhone/iPad transfer software in the market. Now I use it on my daily computer to sync music from iPad to PC. The best part I like about MobiMover Free is that it is easy-to-use with simple operation, and its user-friendly interface. I have used it successfully to transfer playlists from iPad to PC. Now I will show you how to get music from iPad to computer with MobiMover.
With MobiMover Free, you can select one, multiple, or all songs to sync to your computer with ease.
Download and install Qiling MobiMover Free on your PC with Windows 7/8/8.1/10 installed. You need to have iTunes installed on your computer so that MobiMover can access the data on your iOS devices. The installation process won't take long.
Step 1. Connect your iPad to the computer and run Qiling MobiMover. Allow Qiling MobiMover to access your iPad by clicking "Allow" on the program and tap "Trust" on iPad. Click "Browse & Transfer" at the Manager section, then click "Audio" and "Music" to start the process.
Step 2. Choose Music on iPad and click "Settings" to set a safe location on your PC for transferring. You can select specific music files by clicking "Music" on the program and select a secure location on your PC by clicking "Settings" to transfer and save the selected files.
Step 3. Start the transferring by clicking "Transfer to PC" and wait for the process to finish. When the process finishes, you can open and check the transferred music files on your PC.
After the transferring process finishes, you can check all your song in the folder you selected in step 4 above. If you want to import only few songs from iPad to computer, you can try the "Custom" transferring option from the main window. It enables you to import one or multiple iPad music to PC. If you want to sync all the songs from iPad to iPhone, just connect both devices to the computer, and MobiMover will do it for you directly.
If you only need to transfer purchased music from iPad to computer, you can check the following guide on how to sync music to computer with iTunes.
Step1: Launch iTunes from your desktop, Start menu, or taskbar.
Step2: Connect your iPad to your computer with your Lightning to USB or 30-pin USB cable.
Step3: Click the device button, which looks like a small iPad located near the top-left of the window.
Step 4: Click "Music" in the left-side menu.
