More Information on Using the Music App and iTunes Radio on an iPad
One of the nice things about using the Music app and Apple Music is the ability to stream music. Whether you are doing this through iTunes Radio or not, simply being able ot listen to music without having to download files to your device can help to save your storage space for when you re4ally need it. One drawback to streaming music, however, is that you won’t be able to listen to it when you don’t have an Internet connection. Therefore it’s a good idea to download a playlist or two if you know that you are going ot be flying or driving and won’t be able to get online with your iPad. You can choose to use your iPhone or Android phone as a hotspot, however, which can work in a pinch. Essentially this allows you to share the cellular data connection of those devices with other things like iPads and laptops that might not be able ot get online by themselves.
