Hi Rudymutt,


Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities. Sounds like you're interested in finding out if you can share the music which is on your iPad with your iPhone, without an Apple Music subscription.


To place music, which you've imported to a computer from your CDs, onto a device without an Apple Music subscription, you have two options. One is to sync that device with the computer which the music resides on.


If your music is on a PC, you'll want to follow these steps: Use iTunes to sync your iPhone, iPad, or iPod with your computer.


If your music is on a Mac, you'll want to follow these steps: Sync music between your Mac and iPhone or iPad.


The other option: iTunes Match. iTunes Match allows you to have access to all of your music across all your devices, like Apple Music, but without access to the entire Apple Music catalog. You can read more about it here: Subscribe to iTunes Match.


Any questions on those steps just message back.


Enjoy the day!
