There isn't an exact number, but before the ipods release,it might not have been that many, more people wanted the iPod than the humble Music player, a lot of people do have them, (like myself prefer the mp3 to the ipod) however more technical people who want the update stuff take the ipod- threat not though, because of the IPOD, MP3 are now very popular around the world to whoever can afford them, mind you Ipods are very much like MP3 if not infact the same so in this case one of the world most popular bits of tech, next to the TV

iPods MUST use itunes, however there are other software you can use... Mp3 players don't always need Propitiatory software and some you can switch from MEdiaplayer mode to Disk mode. iPods are visible every 30 minute of your life. MP3 players are rare.... iPods are considered "best" by Too many people. mp3 players are considered "outcasts" and dumb and not powerful.... Creative has the simplest User interface, which iPods copied. many Mp3 players have very odd UI. iPods lack audio and video codecs mp3 players usually have more than 4 different codecs. iPods can't last an entire day. Some mp3 players can last a week. (cowon ehh?) iPods don't have any DSP, (digital sound processing/processor) Mp3 players may be BBE or SRS iPods are pain in the ass to fix, but fixable. mp3 players are much harder to break, and much harder to find replacement parts for..(they don't get broken enough that people need the parts)
