Apple releases new iTunes version 4.1.1 for Windows
On News.com we can read that Apple has released an updated version of their iTunes software for Windows. As most of our readers will know Apple has recently launched the Windows version of their iTunes music downloading service which quickly served over more than 1,000,000 downloads.

Apple Computer said it has released an updated version of its iTunes program that's intended to fix bugs some Windows users encountered.

The company posted version 4.1.1 of iTunes to its Web site Wednesday. The version aims to remedy some initial glitches with the jukebox software Apple released last week. As previously reported, some Windows users were reporting bugs, including a problem that caused some Windows 2000 Professional machines to freeze after installing iTunes.

"A few customers reported conflicts with specific PC configurations and we quickly updated the iTunes software in response," Apple said in a statement. "iTunes 4.1.1 addresses an isolated incompatibility with Windows 2000 and older third-party CD-burning software, as well as problems caused by corrupt MP3 files on some users' PCs."

Customers who download iTunes from Apple's site will now get the updated version. By tomorrow, those who check for iTunes updates from within the program's "Help" menu will be directed to the 4.1.1 update. Over the next week, Apple plans to send a notification of the update to all Internet-connected users of iTunes for Windows.

The article adds that the iTunes software for Windows has been downloaded more than 1 million times since its launch less than a week ago. If you're using the software you can get the updated version from the Apple website.

Although the company firewall prevents me from accessing the store, iTunes works great on my legal Windows 2003 box converted to workstation. It works great on my home box which runs XP with all the updates. At least Apple is taking these bugs serious and released an update that includes multiply things and did it in 4 business!

sortiIs it just me or was this "update" also 19MB, they need to make the updates just the changes, and not a new release. I'm using itunes to find all the missing audio books from my collection and downloading them from other sources. Some of the audio books cost $ 50.
