I believe that Apple's real contribution to the MP3 field was the massive amounts of money it spent on advertising. Apple spends more per year on advertising than every other electronics company in the world...combined...$500 million+.

Apple doesn't make quality products. It makes quality marketing. And it proved that style trumps substance.
