Music fans looking to upgrade their iPods to a newer model now have that option at home electronics retailer Tweeter.
The Canton-based chain said today that it now offers an iPod trade-in program: consumers can bring the digital media device into any of its 153 stores and trade it in towards the purchase of a new iPod or any other merchandise inside the store. Tweeter Home Entertainment Group Inc., the chain's parent company, is partnering on the initiative with Needham-based NextWorth Inc., a company that runs consumer-product trade-in programs.
NextWorth's software will be used to determine the trade-in value of iPods and Tweeter's sales staff will then issue store credit to the owner for that amount.
