I have a 16gb iPad with a lot of music on it taking up a lot of space. Is there a way of moving this library to some sort of cloud storage. I want to be able to listen off line as well.
Thanks

    If you want to listen offline,then they need to be on the device.

    Bouy yourself a home NAS or home cloud device, you can play anything whilst at home or anywhere you have internet access to connect to your home cloud.

    You can get lightning usb flash drives, although they are more expensive than normal flash drives.

    The only thing is that they won't play Apple bought DRM protected music and video. If it's music you own from elsewhere, it might be the answer, although I'd check with the supplier before buying.

    See that Quizzical Squirrel has already addressed this, shouldn't stop mid posting to answer the phone, and then not check for updates on replies!

    OP basics are you can store music on the cloud .
    But to listen off line you will have to download it to your device .
    Google Play Music will store a decent amount of music and it can be streamed back to the player via an internet connection .Not sure if Apple allow google play though .

    Google Play Music is on iTunes, but doesn't help OP with playing music offline.

    Google play music lets you store 22000 tracks (they don't meter the size of the music files just the number of tracks uploaded.)

    Or get yourself a cheap NAS (or a Raspberry Pi and a 64Gb SD card and off you go if you want to get fancy and techy ) ;)
