Putting All Released DMB Cds on Ipad?

[pigsmarching8]

So I have a lot of released DMB stuff from all of the DMBLive, DMBLivetrax, warehouse cds, etc...And I'm wondering what the best way to store all of these for easy listening compatability. For instance, if I put them on an iPad Mini or something I can play it off of my tv or plug it into my car. But I want to put all of their releases on it or as much as I can. Does anyone have any input on the best way to do this?!

Thanks,
Shane

Google Play Music app

I'll be honest here

I've loaded music on a hard drive and used that in my truck, but it's clumsy and cumbersome. The best thing you can do is to upload it to a cloud based service and stream it.

Does Apple have a way of doing that or is it just google play to upload music to?

[mposey34]

you can subscribe to the iCloud music library for $25/year

[excitingjae]

how many gigs of music are you looking at?

This is your best bet
Subscribe to iTunes Match, not music
Import the shows into your iTunes account on your computer and let them upload to match
Not all the songs are on all devices (10 max) that work with iTunes - phone, pad, tv, other computers

That sounds interesting. The google play thing is just so easy though. Anyone have success with either one?

I have iTunes Match with 40k songs in it
Was skeptical at first but it's cool and no issues
Best part is it also is a backup and any song can be downloaded on any device at anytime so if you didn't want to use data/wifi to stream it you can

Do you buy songs in iTunes much?
Basically if you use iTunes and/or don't want any extra step (app) then. At home is a plus.
If you use Apple devices that don't have the app available (atv), iTunes is a plus

For me there is no plus of using Google but I am a Mac/Apple guy, all in.
Side note you can load your iTunes with all your dad/blurays and stream them without needing an app such as plex in itunes

So here is where I am at. I am uploading on Google Play and it seems pretty easy and I can access these songs from anywhere. Not to mention I can stream from my apple tv at home from my phone. This also works with sonos. I am a pretty apple intensve, so I would like to use the apple match (I am already an apple music subscriber) but I just don't really like iTunes. Not to mention I would have to upload everything to iTunes first and once imported, because of how some of these cds are labeled, I get song names like 001The Stone, 001One Sweet World, etc. If you can explain to me the process of iTunes match I would be more interested, or if you have a link to a good article. Again, I would prefer match, but the google thing seems to be working out ok.

My match import names are "normal" for example...
(Song) The Stone (artist) Dave Matthews (album) Live Trax 40
All the info can be changed if it doesn't load the way you like too. Most can be edited at once, song names are the only think you can't edit all at once since they are not the same

So I had both iTunes Match AND Apple Music. Apple Music now incorporates the basically the same benefits of iTunes Match within the subscription. On iTunes under preferences you check off iCloud music library and whatever music you add to your iTunes library is immediately uploaded to to your music library in the cloud and is on your phone. So I dropped iTunes Match and kept Apple Music

Ex. I just uploaded WH disc 10 vol 5 and it uploaded all the songs immediately from iTunes to my music library and I can stream/download on my iPhone whenever I want. This is the best service, iTunes Match is still great but Apple Music just gives you way more

Can you access your apple cloud music via a web browser as well?

One thing to keep in mind is music cost like $10/month and match is $25/year
So unless the person is using the music features it's going to cost much more in the end.

Is there a reason you can't just put them directly onto your iPhone/iPad? You could get bluetooth speakers and/or a bluetooth receiver to play them in your car, home stereo, etc.

After you upload the cd to cloud, can you delete it from your iTunes library and it still will stay on your cloud?
