Apple has a new iTunes version for you, iTunes 10.0.1, and it’s now available to download for both Windows and Macs. iTunes 10 has been released at the beginning of September, bringing support for Ping, Apple’s first social network, on board, and this 10.0.1 version is simply an update which will bring you a new sidebar for Ping in iTunes, which is supposed to make sharing stuff with friends a lot easier.

Naturally, besides this must-have feature for some, but unimportant for others, iTunes 10.0.1 brings some new features and improvements as follows:

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.
