    As for the control of iTunes, There is no native cocoa API, however you can use AppleScript, that can be ran from the app using:

    NSString* path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"ScriptName" ofType:@"scpt"];
NSURL* url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:path];NSDictionary* errors = [NSDictionary dictionary];
NSAppleScript* appleScript = [[NSAppleScript alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:url error:&errors];
[appleScript executeAndReturnError:nil];

    A good example of the AppleScript commands that can be used, can be found here: http://dougscripts.com/itunes/itinfo/info03.php
