How do I extract my music from iPad to my iTunes

Hello,

First off I have an iPad Air, and iTunes for Windows.

I accidentally deleted the original files for my music from my computer and now iTunes cannot find the directory to play the songs in my library. I do however have all my songs on my iPad (Note all these songs were not purchased via iTunes Store). I want to know how do I go about extracting the song files from my iPad and retrieve them to put them back onto my laptop as music files? I would really hate to have to re-download all 236 songs that I had in my library again.

If anyone could help me out, it would be much appreciated.

Thank You

iPad Air, iOS 9.0.1

The only way i know how to do it is to plug your ipad in and then go to File < Devices < Transfer purchases. Worked for me, might work for you as well 🙂

I do not know if that method will work because I thought that was if all your songs were purchased via the iTunes Store. Mines were just downloaded from the internet.go to find the

And also Where do I find the File < Devices < Transfer purchases at? where do I go to get to that? is it on "My Computer" on "iTunes" on the iPad?

Update, i found out how to do the method you told me, and it did not work, because my library of songs were not purvhed songs, they were internet downloaded from a 3rd party downloader.
