Ipod new software means new hardware again

The  new software for the ipods is great because it will organize your music in new and different ways. You set up a type of playlist and will continue to fill in songs as you get them into that category or genre. This is the wizard option. The problem with upgrading software is that your old ipods cannot handle it. Then you don't have to upgrade but now if you want new music on itunes you can't download unless you get upgraded software that is free. If you don't have an ipod that can upgrade than you are stuck. You either have to buy a new ipod or be stuck with less music and less options. The company is making improvements to their products but again it forces people to have to replace their old music and video storage devices quicker than they should have to. If they can't make the hardware break after the warranty is up they get you by the software upgrades. Some of this I knew from online and the upgrade problems were told to me by a fellow student. Don't let them catch you in the upgrade traps and it would be great to have new options but I do not and cannot afford to buy a new ipod. These upgrades should be compatible with all ipods. Does anyone feel frustrated with these new ploys to keep us consuming. Instead of making more trash keep it, sell or give it to someone that wants an ipod. We are still stuck in this consumer and throw away society and we really need to recycle in a environmentally safe way. What happened to the reduce, reuse, recycle. Now it is buy more, use more and throw away more.
