iTunes 8.0.1 Improves Stability and Performance, and Includes Bug Fixes to iTunes 8
After downloading the latest update to iTunes 8 which is iTunes 8.0.1, I’ve seen quite a number of changes in this upgraded version. If you can recall, Apple released iTunes 8 promising great features including Genius Playlist, Genius Sidebar and HD TV shows, among others. These new features seemed too good to be true at first but after some time, bugs have been discovered by users like this author. It’s a good thing Apple provides an auto-update feature of their products like iTunes 8 and Quicktime. The total size of the update file is 73.12 MB and takes about 30 minutes to download on broadband internet connections.
According to Apple with the new software package,
iTunes 8 includes Genius, which makes playlists from songs in your library that go great together. Genius also includes Genius sidebar, which recommends music from the iTunes Store that you don’t already have.
With iTunes 8, browse your artists and albums visually with the new Grid view; download your favorite TV shows in HD quality from the iTunes Store; sync your media with iPod nano (4th generation), iPod classic (120GB), and iPod touch (2nd generation); and enjoy a stunning new music visualizer.
iTunes 8 and iTunes U are now accessible with Window-Eyes 7.0 on your PC.
iTunes 8.0.1 improves stability and performance and provides a number of important bug fixes, including:
- Seamlessly plays the current song when creating a new Genius playlist.
- Improves syncing spoken menus to iPod nano.
- Addresses an issue of deleting HD TV episodes when downloading.
- Improves checking for updates from the App Store
- Improves accessibility with Windows.
- Addresses problems syncing Genius results to iPod.
- Addresses a blue screen error on Windows Vista when connecting iPod to your computer.
If you have not updated to the latest Apple iTunes 8.0.1 yet, I strongly suggest you do. The bugs identified in the iTunes 8 have been fixed in version 8.0.1 which I think are significant changes/improvements to the original version 8. The upgrade is free and the software can be downloaded by anybody interested in using iTunes.
