I have an older iPad that still works perfectly. It's upgraded as far as I can upgrade it. I want to use the iPad when traveling, while I'm driving, but I can only use the "iPad Music" program. The problem with that, I can't use the shuffle function in iTunes. iTunes doesn't even SEE the music that is on the iPad. "iPad music" does not have a shuffle function. Apparently I need iTunes match? From what I understand, that is a pay cloud service. I won't be on line, so the cloud is of no use. Since I'll be driving, continuously searching for albums and switching between them is problematic.

Is there another music program I can use on the older iPad?
