You may be right for the vast majority of users but I was a nerdy power user already back then and this was never an issue. I loved my MD player but what really killed it for me were affordable mp3 players. And I never owned an iPod. But I did own several other mp3 players, and eventually smartphones with mp3 playing capability (before iphone). And once I got my first Android the game was over for MD in my view.
