Actually, you can’t. Not directly on your iPad to download music from Amazon MP3, you will get an error on Amazon MP3 web site stating that this device does not currently support multimedia downloads. This because Amazon forces you to download their proprietary software to your PC or Mac to be organized in such an app like iTunes. With Amazon MP3 Software, it will automatically sync to iTunes and add the file on to there as an option. You can still download other type of music or movies or any files you need to download from any other web sites. My tips for downloading music from Amazon MP3 is use Splashtop or iTeleport, a remote desktop software for your iPad.
Where can I download Music, or Where can I download Music Free? Amazon MP3 has them, and sometimes, they even give it away free or at a low price, like $1 for the whole Album of Lady Gaga Music Album. That was then, now, it’s back to regular price. But I always get those questions, and I always tell them, if you don’t have iTunes, go to Amazon MP3 as an alternative to iTunes.
So once I found a place to download my music, which app do I use on my iPad? I use Filer, and the best way is to use the built-in browser in Filer. Here’s how I do it.
Open Filer, go to the site you want to browse, such as a file that a shared files by your family or friends on MobileMe site on http://public.mobileme.com/usersname/. The app I use Filer on my iPad, then after I download from Filer, I then put it on my shared folder on Dropbox. You have to set this up first by adding Dropbox to the Folder. Just click on the + button like as if you are adding a folder and select either Dropbox, MobileMe iDisk or WebDAV. I pick Dropbox, enter in my username and password and click on Connect to Dropbox.
To move the files to Dropbox, you have to make sure the file is already downloaded. Then click on the arrow > on the file you want to move to Dropbox, then under Files Location, click on Files > with an arrow then go down to one of your Dropbox folder and select that folder, click on it and a Select Icon next to the Dropbox folder will appear. You’re done, just click on the Files button on top left to go back and you’ll see your file disappeared from your Filer main folder.
Filer can also stream the files, either movies or music, so it’s a good way to listen to your music that you have on your MobileMe account or any online sharing subscription to your iPad. You can also download photos to your iPad with Filer.
