Transfer music from iPad to MacBook Air

Transfer music from iPad to MacBook Air


How can I transfer music from iPad (2018) to brand new MacBook Air 2020, including music not purchased through iTunes, but instead burned from CDs, etc? Do I use the option to “back up the entire iPad onto the new MacBook” (When I connect the two using a USB-C to lightning cable)? If I sync the two, won’t that erase the music on the iPad? All of my data was easy to transfer to the new MacBook using iCloud, except the music that I previously purchased.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.15
