There are so many MP3 players available, both from random Chinese companies you've never heard of and from name brands. Does it have to be Apple?

- alexjplant 2y ago20 years ago it did. People (kids, at least) made a real distinction between an "iPod" and an "MP3 player" even though one is obviously a subset of the other because Apple is a named luxury brand. It was basically the blue bubble controversy of its time and especially frustrating for socially-awkward, self-important 14-year-olds that had superior products like the Creative Zen Vision:M who had to endure ridicule from their friend group in sixth period lunch because their music player didn't have a click wheel :-).
