It was both. They promoted the sound quality and ease of use of a CD, the reliability and ability to recording of cassettes and smaller form factor than both.
MD was superior to CD from a portability point of view, especially in personal players like the Walkman or car stereos.
I had a MD car stereo in around 1997. CD quality sound, without the jumping of a CD every time you hit a pothole.
