thank heavens it's possible.

I wonder if he meant you can't just drag and drop.

I will speak to him tomorrow for clarification.

thank you for the link.

You're welcome.

I have been told I can't transferring music files (mp3, flac) from Windows to iPad Pro? 

I will be receiving an iPad Pro 12.9" at the beginning of June - I hope. 

The accessories arrived today, just to tease me. Sitting there in their lovely white boxes. 

I have just been told that I can't "just" copy music files from my windows system to my iPad pro (2021) . 

At the moment I just drag and drop music files from a folder on my windows

PC to my Android device and it plays perfectly on my Android device.

Simple. 

I assumed I could just do the same with my iPad Pro, drag and drop from my Windows system to my iPad pro. 

I have just installed iTunes on my Windows PC, I assume I'll have an

iCloud account when I set up my iPad pro when it arrives in June. 

can I use iTunes and iCloud to somehow transfer them from my Windows system to my iPad Pro or my home wifi or a usb cable. 

And will they play on my iPad. 

When I'm on holiday in the Lake District with no WI-Fi or cellular signal I

will want to play music from my iPad, surely this possible somehow. 

 thank you
