The article "Music in the Age of Free Distribution: MP3 and Society" also mentioned that CD's reproduce sound using bumps and grooves, but the MP3 is purely digital. That means the CD had both bumps and grooves and the ability to reproduce sound digitally even before the MP3 player was invented.
Unless the world had a secret MP3 we didn't even know about when the walkman and CD's came out.
Could've been a business tactic. Make people buy the walkman, but have the MP3 player stored in mass security, then release it so people buy that too.
