Kevin, there is a lot you can do with an iPad, but without knowing exactly what sort of things you want to do, it’s probably difficult for anybody to give you a tutorial which covers everything. I love my iPhone, but I have a sense you bought the iPad to replace a PC and in my opinion that is a big step backward in doing things efficiently especially when it comes to browsing the web and doing a lot of email and stuff like that. As for your music, you may very well be able to play music from an external drive, but you’ll never get the same experience as you have when you subscribe to Apple Music an use the music app or simply ask Siri to play whatever you want to listen to etc. That is just my 2 cents worth, my wife and I have an iPad, but it was mostly a surface for dust to gather on which is why I’ll be selling it. The speed and efficiency I have with my computer and Jaws simply cannot be matched.

Yesterday I took my iPad and 4 TB SSD to see if they could get anything to play from it. They were successful, but it was an instrumental folder which didn’t have much in it, but I now knew it could be done. The next day was Mother’s Day, and I had my Brother try it. He got something to play. This evening I decided to wait out the time for everything to be set up, and it took about 15 minutes to load. I’m happy to report the song I played worked great. I’m happy now. I just need to find someone to tell me how to get this working and what can be done with the iPad. If I can’t find anybody to help, I’ll do my own research. Just wanted to let you know. Have a blessed day and don’t work too hard. Kevin and Lily -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
