Yep. It's as simple as that.
Now, as for the question at hand, iPods and MP3 players deserve some "blame", I guess, but I'm not blaming them for anything, for it's the natural progress of the music medium. We all knew, when the MP3 format came to be, and the likes of Limewire, Napster and KaZaA were born, that something along these lines would happen. It was inevitable. Someday, the MP3 format and MP3 players will become obsolete, too, though not for a while, obviously. It's a continuous cycle that will never end.
That being said, Dani is on to something, because it's not just the MP3 format that is killing albums. Let's not forget how easy it is to stream songs or albums online nowadays, or find songs you really like on YouTube. MP3s and their players deserve some of the blame, if you look at it like that, but, really, if anything's most at fault, it's the internet itself.
