Mac and Windows PC users worldwide can now download a new version of iTunes, Apple’s media player and digital hub for iOS application and media downloads.

According to the company headquartered at 1 Infinite Loop, Cupertino, California, “iTunes 10.5.2 includes several improvements for iTunes Match and fixes an audio distortion problem when playing or importing certain CDs.”

The release comes just weeks after the launch of iTunes 10.5.1, the first version of the software to include iTunes Match - a feature that lets you store your entire music library in iCloud, including music you've imported from CDs.

Match allows you to enjoy your music collection anywhere and on any device, as long as it’s supported. Those include the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch, your personal computer (Mac or PC running iTunes), as well as the Apple TV (second generation).

Other nifty features inherited by iTunes 10.5.2, according to Apple’s release notes, include:

· iTunes in the Cloud. iTunes now stores your music and TV purchases in iCloud and makes them available on your devices anywhere, any time, at no additional cost. · Automatic Downloads. Purchase music from any device or computer and automatically download a copy to your Mac, PC and iOS devices. · Previous purchases may be unavailable if they are no longer on the iTunes Store. · Sync with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5. · Wi-Fi Syncing. Automatically sync your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iTunes any time they're both on the same Wi-Fi network.

iTunes 10.5.2 also includes the latest security patches as well. A hole that could allow a man-in-the-middle attacker to offer software that appears to originate from Apple us closed in this version of iTunes.
