It’s a tragic misconception that the iPod was the first mp3 player on the market. There were many, the most notable being the MPMan and Creative’s RIO line. But all of them used flash storage, and as a result could barely hold a single album. The iPod changed that and allowed you pocket half your music collection (if not all of it). Its initial success was probably driven by the popularity of illegal download services like Napster, but then the iPod’s ecosystem evolved and iTunes evolved into the most successful online music store. It revolutionized the music industry, by showing how people like to enjoy their music.
