How Can I Get Music from iPad to Computer without iTunes

I recently got some free music source from one of my best friends on my iPad. I was thinking it would be better to make a backup of these music files on my computer, but iTunes doesn't allow me to do that. I can only backup purchased music to iTunes. And if I need to restore them, it will overwrite the content music on my iPad. Besides, I also want to sync the music from iPad to iPhone so that I can listen to the songs on both my iOS devices. First thing first, I have to figure out how to get music from iPad to computer without iTunes.

Fortunately, I searched in the Google, and it provided me with some really good software for iPhone/iPad data transfer. What I like most is EaseUS MobiMover Free, the only free iPhone/iPad transfer software in the market. Now I use it on my daily computer to sync music from iPad to PC. The best part I like about MobiMover Free is that it is easy-to-use with simple operation, and its user-friendly interface. I have used it successfully to transfer playlists from iPad to PC. Now I will show you how to get music from iPad to computer with MobiMover.

With MobiMover Free, you can select one, multiple, or all songs to sync to your computer with ease.

Get Music from iPad to Computer with MobiMover Free

Download and install EaseUS MobiMover Free on your PC with Windows 7/8/8.1/10 installed. You need to have iTunes installed on your computer so that MobiMover can access the data on your iOS devices. The installation process won't take long.

Step 1: Connect your iPad to the computer, and tap Trust This Computer on the iPad screen if a prompt asks. Run EaseUS MobiMover Free for PC > click the iPad device on the main screen > Audio. You can also use EaseUS MobiMover Free for Mac to transfer music from iPad to the Mac.  

Step 2: Choose Music and click Transfer to Computer on the music management screen.

Using the custom transfer features introduced here is a better choice if you want to transfer music from your iPad to computer selectively. If you're going to copy all music from your iPad to computer or import music together with other file types from your iPad, you are recommended to use the 1-Click Transfer feature.

Step 3: Next, set the path for exported music on your computer. You can save them anywhere you like. Once you click the Select Folder, MobiMover will start transfer immediately. When the process finishes, click View to check the music files.

After the transferring process finishes, you can check all your song in the folder you selected in step 4 above. If you want to import only few songs from iPad to computer, you can try the "Custom" transferring option from the main window. It enables you to import one or multiple iPad music to PC. If you want to sync all the songs from iPad to iPhone, just connect both devices to the computer, and MobiMover will do it for you directly.

If you only need to transfer purchased music from iPad to computer, you can check the following guide on how to sync music to computer with iTunes.
