When using older iTunes U could transfer playlist and load it on to iPad,then load to ST3. cant do that anymore as apple ruined iTunes over the years. the new replacement, Music, is useless. so unless U have an old iTunes that still functions only way to get songs on iPad is to upload to the cloud or google drive or something else, then download. Problem with that is then U have to make ur playlists on ST3. with iTunes, U could actually load just one playlist and it would be in your playlist section separately. That is nice. I see no way now to do this other than iTunes. If someone has a new way please LMK.
