Yeah, found that now, and so has Amazon Music Storage, although I can 
find reports of it being ceased, it still shows up as an option on my 
account, with the ability to buy it. There are no options I can see for 
uploading my music in any of the apps though.

Yeah, running out of ideas here. The intention was to go with just iPads 
and iPods here. I need to clear the desktop computer from the room, and 
having a permanently connected setup is not likely to be an option we 
can manage.

The nearest I can come up with is to stick all my music into my iCloud 
Drive, and find some way to play them from there. VLC does actually work 
on the iMac and the iPad so far, but it's a bit messy.

Otherwise, I might be down to turning off all the cloud and home sharing 
stuff, and simply syncing the collections to the devices manually.

They didn't make this as easy as I'd hoped. It's just the music that's 
the sticky point at the moment, everything else seems to be well sorted.

Cheers.
