Late Friday, Apple released iTunes 10.0.1, the latest version of its digital jukebox/digital hub software. The new version, an 84 megabyte download, sports the following fixes and new features:

- 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.

iTunes 10 requires Mac OS X 10.5 or later to install and run and can be located, downloaded and installed via Mac OS X’s Software Update feature.
