Hate to bring up the dreaded comparision to Apple, but here goes. Quiet a few people have gotten used to buying songs from Apple's Itunes stire and loading them onto their ipods. and i have to say that the majority of them tend not to be very technical inclined.

I have to admit that the experience currently is much more smooth and integrated then for any of the readers current workflow. but that is problem that should be reasonably easy to solve if taken seriously by the manufacturers.
