Apple Pushes Out iTunes 10.0.1, Bug Fixes and Introduces Ping Sidebar

Apple has released iTunes 10.0.1 to the masses. The update addresses a number of bugs while introducing a few new features including a “Ping sidebar.”

Here are the release notes:

iTunes 10.0.1 makes it easier to share your favorite music with your friends on Ping. 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.

This release also provides 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.

Nearly all of the new functionality is based around Apple’s new music social network-Ping. The Ping sidebar increases the speed in which a user can access the service, while the drop down menu next to each track in a users’ library can be used to comment or “like” a track in the Ping service.
