How do I play an mp3 on my iPad?
Since you don't have a Mac, I suggest you start looking into third party music players like VLC, &quot;Cloud Music Player - Listener&quot; by Jhon Belle, &quot;Boom: Music Player and Equalizer&quot; by Global Delight Technologies Pvt. Ltd, Google Play music, &quot;Vox- MP3 &amp; FLAC music player&quot; by Coppertino Inc. etc.

What&#39;s a good iPhone app for playing MP3 music?

If a Mac can be used:
