God, i know its always a bad idea to be one of the first to download updates, especially with apples track record (hey, what happend to my external HD? oh, it got erased) but, i can't help myself. Here's hoping for the best.

Apple released a small update to iTunes 5.0 today:

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 features several stability improvements over iTunes 5.

This bug-fix update has been expected.

Ya, well I was kinda hoping for a huge PM update.... Maybe tomorrow

Xenious · Sep 20, 2005

Dual 2.5 G5, no issues with the update. (No previous issues with 5.0 either)

barbee · Sep 20, 2005

Does anyone know if this solves anything for Windows platforms? From my experience, the performance is HORRIBLE and there's no way of downgrading to 4.x.

thomasp · Sep 20, 2005

Well, it seems to play songs fine from my Party Shuffle, and access the music store OK. I'm using OSX 10.4.2 on a 15" 1.5GHz PB.

I don't know about iPod problems, as I don't have one

Nice of Apple to fix the bugs quickly

Mike Teezie · Sep 20, 2005

Here's to hoping 5.0.1 fixes my iPod issues.

Downloading now....

DaftUnion · Sep 20, 2005

Everything works fine with the update for both iTunes on the mac and pc.

AppleMatt · Sep 20, 2005

Bah. It's not showing up for me yet.

Does 5.0.1 still include podcasts in the music library?

AppleMatt

runplaysleeprun · Sep 20, 2005

The installer has been hanging about half way done for about 20 minutes on my pbook with it saying
Installing: Installing iTunes.
doesnt seem to be making any progress.
Isolated case?

Ashapalan · Sep 20, 2005

Nothing like being at the top of the game eh

I hope so, and I hope that smartplaylists, that sync to my iPod, start behaving like they do with music!

Nermal · Sep 20, 2005

WHY did the forum search not find this thread when I typed "itunes 5.0.1"?

Same thing happened for the Java update.

Mike Teezie · Sep 20, 2005

Grrr, didn't fix my problem.

I'm backing up data now, to do a clean install of the OS.
