Do iPads actually let you manage your music without using iTunes on a desktop? I know my iPod doesn't. You can add music to it directly by purchasing in the iTunes store, but not delete music. I can't see any clear reason why, but this restriction must do something for Apple.
- rbarooah 16y agoNo - iPad's don't let you manage your music collection. I assume the no-delete is to reduce the risk of people accidentally deleting things they've just paid for, given that that's the only way to get things on to the device. Interestingly, you can delete videos.
- code_duck 16y agoYou can re-download things you've paid for, can't you? Or hmm.. they limit the times? Given that I have 800 GB of space I have of which 10% is in use, I've never deleted any purchased music, so I don't know from personal experience.
- rbarooah 16y agoNo - you can only redownload apps. This is because of the contracts with the content providers. Apple is apparently trying to renegotiate this at least for music, so that they can put your library in the cloud.
