Donny,...Personally I like my Samsung Tab 3 8" model. It has expandable memory slot making it possible to hold gobs of MP3 and Lyric files. I have 32 GB in mine with room to spare. Its also easy to create playlists and move files from and to a PC. However, moving files between it and and iOS is not that easy. I know a lot of iPad users who would have nothing but an iPad. My Tab 3 (or the 10 inch model) will also do all I need at a significantly lower price than the Apple products I researched. But....to each his own.
