AppleInsider StaffiTunes 10.0.1 is available available for download for Mac OS X as a 84MB install, 71.54MB for Windows 32-bit, and 72.41 for Windows 64-bit.
"iTunes 10.0.1 makes it easier to share your favorite music with your friends on Ping," Apple said in its documentation. "You can now Like or Post about music right from your iTunes library."
"You can also easily see the recent activity of a selected artist in your library, or of all artists and friends you follow on Ping using the new Ping Sidebar."
The update also includes a number of important bug fixes, including:
- Addresses an issue where the picture quality of a video changes depending on whether the on-screen controls are visible.
- Resolves an issue where iTunes may unexpectedly quit while interacting with album artwork viewed in a separate window.
- Fixes a problem that affects the performance of some third-party visualizers.
- Addresses an issue where the iTunes library and playlists appear empty.
- Resolves an issue that created an incompatibility with some third-party shared libraries.

Hi, I'm back from my banishment.
Still no color icons. I'll pass. I want my colored icons.
Did They Put The Color Back In The Playlist Titles? I really miss the color.
I still haven't fixed the bug where everything looks so gray.
Apple this week released an update to iTunes, with version 10.0.1 adding the new Ping sidebar for easier access to the social networking service, as well as a number of bug fixes....
It seems at first sight to replace my genius bar with a Ping bar and give me no option to return it. This is a shame since literally the *only* good thing about the Genius thing is the genius bar connection to iTunes.
Also seems to screw up a lot of my cover art.
I'm getting really sick of the crap they are folding into iTunes that doesn't give you the option of removing it. The "Genius mixes" (that I don't ever want to see but are un-removeable), jumping in your face every time you sync are bad enough, and they might want to fix the broken implementation of cover-flow first also.
I wish there was a serious alternative out there that wasn't going to give users more hassle than Apples implementation of iTunes does.
Colored icons - if you have a Mac there is an easy and fast hack to put the colored icons back. However, Windows users are out of luck, no hack that I know exist.
If you want the Mac hack let me know and I can post links. Or just Google 'itunes 10 colored icons' or something similar.
