Your sight redirects me to the Apple website and Apple does not offer the older update. The new update does not work on my iPod, I need the old update so this is not helping me. How can I get an older update?

Apple iPod Updater ReviewWindows Problem - Version: 2.1, 1/7/2004 12:18AM PST

Version 2.1 creates a problem for 3G iPods working with Windows. While docked it has become impossible to use the iPod, with a constant OK to disconnect frozen on the poor little pod. This is obviosly a bug since the same behavior does not occur with Macs. Though there are some good features introduced you should hold off updating if you have a 3G iPod and you use it with Windows.

Apple iPod Updater ReviewThanx for update - Version: 2.0.1, 6/19/2003 06:18PM PST

This new version fixes a couple of problems - the click between tracks and the none-dynamic On-The-Go playlists. I do agree with the criticisms that the older iPod should benefit from the new features. If they bought out a version 3 in a years time and refused to update mine i'd be annoyed and definitely wouldn't shell out cash to benefit from the upgrade. Im sure the tracks sound better too!
