MP3 player and iPad

Hi , I want to buy some waterproof bone conduction headphones for swimming but they are all basically mp3 players. I only have an iPad as a computer. Is it possible to use the iPad to get music and podcasts and put them on the mp3 player?

thanks

iPad, iOS 9

If your MP3 player has an associated installable “App” for the iPad, your iPad will be able to manage your MP3 Player in any way that the App Developer has provided.


Otherwise, in absence of a management App, your MP3 player will have instructions as to how you can manage its content. If this simply requires copying mp3 files via USB, this might be possible from iPad - but only if the MP3 Player itself exposes standard USB file-storage via the USB connection.
