Apple Releases iTunes 8.0.1 (Stability and Bug Fixes)

Tunes 8 includes Genius, which makes playlists from songs in your library that go great together. Genius also includes Genius sidebar, which recommends music from the iTunes Store that you don't already have.

With iTunes 8, browse your artists and albums visually with the new Grid view; download your favorite TV shows in HD quality from the iTunes Store; sync your media with iPod nano (4th generation), iPod classic (120GB), and iPod touch (2nd generation); and enjoy a stunning new music visualizer.

iTunes 8 and iTunes U are now accessible with VoiceOver on your Mac.

iTunes 8.0.1 improves stability and performance and provides a number of important bug fixes, including:

• Seamlessly plays the current song when creating a new Genius playlist.
• Improves syncing spoken menus to iPod nano.
• Addresses an issue of deleting HD TV episodes when downloading.
• Improves checking for updates from the App Store
• Improves accessibility with VoiceOver.
• Addresses problems syncing Genius results to iPod.

Can't say I've seen any differences personally having run 8.0.1 the last 5 minutes.

Because 5 minutes = an accurate sample set. :-\

Good Deal :)

But apparently 8.0 is the current version for me so far :/

Improves checking for updates from the App Store

Good because its annoying when you dl the updates and the I sync my touch and my ipod says there is updates

*yay* seemless genius.... i had this on my iphone and i was like.... i hate you itunes.

I wonder if this fixes Airport streaming issues. I've been holding off from upgrading to iTunes 8 out of fear of hitting this bug.

Does this version allow you to hide the Genre column while browsing?

tablet already ffs

isn't this a page 2 story?

No probs here

It really is nice that Apple is focusing more at improving accessibility for blind consumers. It really is an unserved segment of the market. My father being completely blind, he is thrilled to find that Apple is continuing support for accessibility and VoiceOver with iTunes and iPod.
