iTunes is a commonly used music management software for Apple device users. Although iTunes itself does not support direct music transfer to Android devices, you can achieve this by backing up the files from your iPad to your computer and then transferring it to your Android device. This is also a prevalent method. Here are the specific steps:
Step 1. Open iTunes on your computer.
Step 2. Connect your iPad to the computer using a USB cable.
Step 3. Select your iPad in iTunes and click on the "Music" tab.
Step 4. Choose the music or playlists you want to sync and then click "Apply" or "Sync".
Step 5. Connect your Android device to the computer via a USB cable.
Step 6. Locate the backed-up music files on your computer (usually found in the iTunes Media folder).
Step 7. Copy the music files to the storage directory of your Android device (such as the "Music" folder).
Cloud services offer a convenient way to share files across different devices. With cloud services like Google Drive, you can effortlessly upload music from your iPad to the cloud and then download it onto your Android device. This method works best under good network conditions.

Step 1. Install the Google Drive app on your iPad and log in to your account.
Step 2. Open the app, tap the "+" button, select "Upload", and choose the music files you want to upload.

Step 4. Locate the previously uploaded music files and tap the download button to save them to your Android device.
You can also utilize some free file transfer tools available on the market to transfer music from iPad to Android, such as SHAREit. SHAREit is a cross-platform file transfer application that supports wireless transmission of music, photos, videos, and other files. With SHAREit, you can easily transfer music from iPad to Android devices without using cables. However, such tools often come with numerous annoying advertisements and data security cannot be guaranteed. Below is the guide:
Step 1. To get started, download and install the SHAREit application on both your iPad and Android device.
Step 2. Make sure both devices are connected to the same Wi-Fi network and open the SHAREit application.
Step 3. On your iPad, open SHAREit and click the "Send" button.

Samsung Smart Switch is an official data migration tool provided by Samsung, supporting the transfer of music, photos, contacts, and other files between different devices, as long as your target device is a Samsung. Whether it's from iOS to Samsung, Android to Samsung, or even Samsung to Samsung, this tool has got you covered.
