Do I need to upgrade iTunes version to use new iPod Nano?

Question

I have an old iPod Nano (4GB) and am using iTunes vers. 6. I am thinking of buying the new iPod Nano (8GB) with video capability. Can I continue using iTunes vers. 6 or do I have to upgrade to a higher version.

Also if I upgrde to iTunes Plus do I lose all my existing playlists. If I do, can this be avoided. Please advise what I need to do to avoid this. (Please bear in mind that I am not computer literate).

Many thanks.
