Apple Polishes iTunes for Windows

iTunes for Windows has received its first upgrade in order to correct problems reported by users following the music software's launch last week. Some iTunes users running Windows 2000 found their systems freezing up after installation, while others reported memory glitches. The new release brings iTunes up to version 4.1.1.54.

"A few customers reported conflicts with specific PC configurations and we quickly updated the iTunes software in response," said an Apple spokesperson 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."

Despite the initial hiccups, Apple raves that iTunes for Windows has been met with immense success. Downloads of the Windows port surpassed 1 million within four days, and 1 million songs had been sold in the same timeframe. Apple was previously selling tunes at a rate of 500,000 per week.

Apple plans to launch a marketing blitz to promote the iTunes Music Store, partnering with Pepsi to give away 100 million free songs. AOL will also feature links to iTunes within its AOL Music pages.
