What happened to normal MP3 Players? I mean, people don't use them anymore. I still have 2 that works perfectly fine. I understand that an iPod is an MP3 player but you don't see people using like Sandisk MP3 players anymore. Why is it all iPods? I myself have changed into an iPod person but I found an old MP3 player in my drawer and was wondering about it.

They got ousted by bigger brands that wanted to add as many features to gadgets as they can. I can say that Apple and Microsoft killed the simple MP3 player. Because people wanted more bang for their buck and they got it.

I guess they were outdated. Ipods and iPhones have changed the way we listen to music now...I wonder what will replace the ipods now?

Apple was in the right place at the right time with the right product.

What is a "normal MP3 player" exactly? I'm from the era where we walked around carrying these, so those are the true portable music players to me --

My first MP3 player was one of these and I used it until the first or second generation iPod came out because it was much easier to get music transferred on to it and the capacity was much larger than what my particular Rio had. --
