Apple releases iTunes 5.0.1

Apple late yesterday released iTunes 5.0.1 which features several stability improvements. iTunes 5 features a new even more powerful instant search, including the new Search Bar which helps you find exactly what you are looking for in iTunes or from among 2 million songs on the Music Store, folders for organizing playlists, and new Parental Controls for music, music sharing and podcasts.

iTunes 5.0.1 is available via Mac OS X Software Update and also as a standalone installer (13.8MB). More info and download link here.

  1. GrapeGraphics,

    Fsckface, it was released last night and I didn’t know about it until I read it on MDN. Gee, duh, that must be why MDN bothered to note it.

    Your attitude and lie (“couple of days”) force me to state the obvious: Go fsck yourself.

  2. I prefer to insult (where justified) without the abuse or need for vulgarity.

    Please don’t use my nick if your 2 cents worth is only some lame insult.

    Also, I don’t rely on MDN for my breaking news. I come here to see how the overzealous are reacting to the tiny ebbs and flows of the mac world.

    Thank you in advance for refraining from using my nick.

  3. I hope it fixed the “Damaged Library” problem. Out of all the info I lost when that happened, the worst was the video podcast subscription from that guy who posted various Apple commercials, etc. on his podcast. I looked all over for it yesterday but I can’t remember what it was called or what the guy’s name was. Anyone know what I’m talking about?

  4. Apple always (I think, please don’t flame me if I’m wrong ” width=”19″ height=”19″ alt=”grin” style=”border:0;” /> releases the standalone before the auto Software Update. This way the smart tech geeks (geeks in a nice smart way) who like to be the first on their virtual block to try it out new cool stuff can do so as kind of a final test before it is released to the novice public who don’t like surprises via Software Update.

    Very smart! I’ll tryout new stuff when I’m interested and I have the time. When I don’t, I appreciate it when others do so.

    Let me take this opportunity to say THANKS! to all those who take the time to try out the new stuff so the rest of us have a better experience.
