I see. Its a viable second option I guess, thanks for sharing.
For me personaly it doesnt really solve the problem, since I use Apple Music App for streaming. So it would be keeping music in two places, but than again, at the moment I have not inputed any of my mp3 files, and just use applemusic
Yeah, I have over 2000 of my own mp3's that I put in the Music library with iTunes but this is an option if you can't use iTunes. I don't do any streaming of music.
I have been putting all of my mp3’s in Dropbox (I’ve accumulated literally 1000’s over the years). I use Documents app on my phone/ipads to stream music from Dropbox. There’s an app called iCatcher you can use to pull music from dropbox to the icatcher app on your phone and send it to the apple watch (for playback without an internet connection). All ways I avoid itunes/apple music app!
Anybody else out there using an iPad (pro) with a magic keyboard folio feel a small amount of pride knowing that we have an Apple “laptop” with faceid that doesn’t require a notch 
muhahaha
muhahaha

I found something you can DEFINATLEY not do - on an iPad, and is obviously a needed thing.
You can definitely not write boot images of live Kali Linux installs to flash media using BalenaEtcher to fix your broken OpenCore EFI partition on you hackintosh Mac OS X Instalation.

So I will conclude. Ipad is not a computer. When they add this thou, I’ll revert back to saying its a perfect hacking device. Also need to add Kali in the iPad VM software..

I’d like to start by apologizing if this has already been asked (multiple) times but I have spent the last 3 days trying to come up with a solution. I am trying to move away from a Mac/Windows based environment for work (it support) and the solution that makes the most (almost) sense to me is...

Plenty computer systems come to mind that cannot do this though. That makes them less capable but still computers
Haha well okay MrLucas, I throw in the towel, if an iPad can’t write boot images, it’s definitely not a computer ?
You come up with this? Well, here is one for free: connect any external storage to any iPad and tell me how much space is occupied and/or free on it… using for example Apple’s FilesI found something you can DEFINATLEY not do - on an iPad, and is obviously a needed thing.

I do that with a 3rd party app but you're right, Files should support it.
Well I’ll play…the reason I can’t fully give up my MacBook is for video compression. Let’s say I *ahem* acquire a video from the internets, and I want to convert whatever weird format it’s in to a compressed mp4 file that I can play on my phone and won’t take up much space…no app I’m aware of that can do it. Also, I dislike iCloud for file storage since it can’t stream, so I dump all my files into Dropbox. The MacOS Dropbox utility is robust…the basic iOS/iPadOS apps can only do so much. So there’s my reasons for keeping my MacBook “computer” around; for all other purposes, I love my iPad pros. Like seriously, I LOVE them. More than a human should.
Can you kindly tell me which app? Even Filebrowser doesn’t seem to offer this - my workaround is to create a folder in root and then put whatever in subfolders. FileBrowser easily informs on the size of a folder. To be clear - it’s just an minor annoyance.
I haven't tried it since using Handbrake on a Mac is so much better in so many ways, but I believe you could install iSH and then get the ffmpeg package. However, transcoding video in an x86 emulator probably isn't efficient.

For attached external storage, it shows total capacity, % and total used & free.

Can I lure every just for a minute to read a few tweets by Andy Somerfield of Affinity over at Twitter? It deals with the new M1 Pro and Max, but gives some view on what iPads are actually able to… for quite some time:
Read&enjoy the full thread. ?We shipped Photo in 2015 - six years after the design phase - without GPU compute support
Plenty computer systems come to mind that cannot do this though. That makes them less capable but still computers
I was lowkey trolling, but shouldnt most computers be able to do this thou? ? which ones come to mind that can’t?
this guy gets it ??
Can Android devices do it? I have 6 Android tablets but it's not anything I ever tried.

My smart watch can’t do it, my e-readers can’t, my game consoles can’t, my ebike’s computer can’t, my smartphones can’t, my Plex server can’t, the list goes on and on.
But sure, troll on.
Well android devices are even less of a computer than ipad is. I’d certainly not think of them as computers…

Go on and show us a definition that makes your tasks a requirement to be a computer.
