The API is a little janky and hasn't changed since they released the original iTunes on Windows. I think the tools that work really well with iTunes end up just parsing the XML library file themselves.

The COM documentation is good but it all seems a bit convoluted to have to supply four parameters to get an object back. Shouldn't the whole the point of a unique database ID be so that you can retrieve an object directly from the database with ONE parameter? Ah well, I expect I'll find a work around...
