beaTunes requires a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) to run properly. On Windows, it can use a public Java version that is already installed on your computer or it can use its own private copy of Java. When using the public version of Java you might run into version issues, but the beaTunes download package is smaller and uses up less space on your harddrive. When using the private copy of Java (beaTunes with bundled JRE), you can be sure to use the right version of Java, but the beaTunes installation will take up a little more space on your harddrive. For a hassle free installation, we recommend you use the beaTunes version with the bundled JRE.
