The most common type of audio files you can store in iTunes and transfer to your iPad are songs, audio lectures, and voice memos (which are typically recorded from an iPhone). You’ll probably find the bulk of your audio files stored in the Music category.
To transfer music and other audio files to your iPad, follow these steps:
Connect your iPad to your computer using the USB cable that came with your iPad.
Run the iTunes program on your computer.
Click the name of your iPad in the Devices category in the left pane of the iTunes window.
Click the Music tab to view the options for synchronizing audio files to your iPad.
Check (or uncheck) the Sync Music checkbox.
Click the Entire music library or Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres radio button. If you choose Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres, you’ll see additional checkboxes for selecting all your playlists, artists, albums, or genres stored in iTunes, as shown in Figure 15-1.
(Optional) Click any additional checkboxes to select specific playlists, artists, albums, or genres.
(Optional) Select (or clear) the Include music videos checkbox.
(Optional) Select (or clear) the Include voice memos checkbox.
(Optional) Select (or clear) the Automatically fill free space with songs checkbox. This option analyzes the songs you’ve selected and tries to guess similar songs that you did not select to be transferred to your iPad. Then it stores these additional songs on your iPad, filling up the remaining storage space.
Click Apply. The Sync button appears.
Click Sync (if your iPad doesn’t start synchronizing automatically).
