Do you use your iPad as an iPod?

[bluedog3401]

An iPad in your bag with bluetooth headphones is really great. Although if you stop playing your music/audio and it goes into sleep mode, does anyone have a headset that rewakes your device?

I'm using the Motorola S9-HD and its simply great to have the controls on your ear and not too bulky headset. The downside of these is only they are not foldable (although that probably makes them a bit more durable). These sound great and have a great battery life. I usually can listen for a full day of music and then recharge. Or several days without using them all day.

Using the wireless headset takes care of the 'guy walking down the street' hanging onto an iPad like a boom box from the 80s.

Not really. I use my Iphone for that. Like others have said, I might consider getting some Bluetooth headphones to make listening to music more viable for it. I use the IPad more for eroding, gaming, and webbrowsing.

Yes I stream all my music to an external speaker using IPADs bluetooth...luv it

No music. Just podcasts.

I have some music on there.

Mostly as background music while surfing or writing.

 

[BMP84]

Nope.

I thought I would, but I have a couple movies, no music, only a few games, and mostly productive apps.

This is my extension on the go from my desktop, it does it's fair thing. I do listen to pandora while I shower, cook, and clean but really don't use it as a iPod by any means.

To each their own.

I have some music on my iPad, basically what I have on my iPhone.

When my girlfriend and I are reading in bed I use the iPad as iPod and the speaker isn't too bad when only a foot or two away at a medium volume. And occasionally when I'm out. iPod for the gym and never use my iPhone as an iPod.

No music on mine. No videos either. I use about 6GB total out of the 32GB.

Got a 32gb 3G yesterday. The iPod app SUCKS!

 

[ScrewTheDaisies]

. The iPod app SUCKS!

Surprisingly, yes. Whose idea was it to put the arrow you tap to go back a screen in a different location on each screen?

You can't un-sync Podcasts via iTunes. You have to delete it off the iPad one by one. WTF?!

This is how I plan to use my iPad as well. The iPod feature was not a contributing factor when I decided to purchase the device.

I do not understand this complaint. On my iPad podcasts sync and unsync like any other media.

I would still keep the nano!

Heh, I love the iPod app on my iPad. As my sig shows, I have a 64gb iPad so I can fill it with majority of what I want. Granted, I have well over 64gb of music, so I am hoping the new iPhone comes in 64gb as well so I can split all of my music between the two devices.

I believe it happens when you have gone into the iPod app and asked to 'get more episodes' and loaded it then via the iTunes app on your device. Those episodes don't seem to sync off our back to your computer when you connect via USB. I didn't realize that was happening and wondered why some already listened to items were staying on my iPad.

Seems reasonable if you loaded it directly on the iPad, it wouldn't honor the iTunes desktop app's decision to delete. But they could offer to load them back to the desktop as how the Appstore works when you purchase something directly on the device.
