Sync iPad

4/8/14 from iTunes on computer: View/Show Sidebar / Devices (when device is plugged in). After choosing device, choose "music" from top row. There are a bunch of sync options, including sync an artist (which got the album last time I tried it, though maybe there is a spot to sync an album).

4/7/14 the first time I hooked it up, there was a cool screen for syncing, but after going to iTunes I can't find it anymore.

To manually add information to an album, use CNTRL-I (not a menu option) .

http://www.mediamonkey.com/ (media monkey) may be a better way to sync up with various devices (windows, android, itunes)
