Actually, it was Windows Media Player that killed them. Real lost it about 2000, years before the ipod.

"years" is a tad much, considering the iPod was first released in October 2001!

Ok.

I didn't know it was that old.

Chart at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPod#Sales says ipod really took off in 2005, though. Before then it was not a very big seller at all.
