To Use iDownloader for Your iPad
Install iDownloader from the app store to your iPad and when it has finished installing you can open it. Go to the Search tab and select “MP3” as the file type and then choose your search engine. The most popular search engines to find MP3 files are mp3beagle.com and mp3skull.com. Then you can search for the songs you want.
When you find songs you want, all you have to do is click a link underneath the song called “Download”. This will make a window come up that will allow you to name the song and choose which folder to put it in. For this, name the song and then press another download link you will see in the top right corner. When the download has finished, you will be able to find the song in whatever folder you put it in.
