Will CDs be able to be ripped to iPad OS?

As the new OS comes out for the iPads, does anyone know if it will be able to accept data from an external drive or will I need to keep my laptop to feed this through? I’m about to decide whether to keep the MacBook Air for this or sell it and get the iPad Pro as my

main computer...

Hello,


At this time there is no way to import CDs onto iPad nor is there any announced plans to import CDs in Apple’s Fall release of iPadOS 13. Your best bet would be to rip your CDs to your Macintosh and then transfer them to your iPad.

There is no way for us to know what iPadOS will have, or not, in it final, introduced form in the Fall of 2019.

There is no way to know which iPad models will be able to successfully access/connect to more conventional external drives other than flash memory drives.

iPads, even iPad Pros, that will be able to run the new iPadOS, will STILL NOT replace a much more powerful and feature rich laptop/MacBook!

AND, you cannot run full computer OS applications on any iPad/iOS/iPadOS.

In most cases, ONLY scaled down versions of well known apps!

iPads are NOT full replacements for any laptop/MacBook, yet.

Get an iPad Pro, if you wish and can afford one, but keep the MacBook!

Adobe hasn't even, yet, released their first version of full Photoshop for iOS and they have been talking about and working on this for years, now!

Like many of us, You'll simply have to wait a couple more months for the official release of iOS 13/iPadOS.
