Is the iTunes COM interface available on Mac OS/X? From the documentation I could find, it seems much more extensive than the Applescript interface I could expose through the Automator program.
Disclaimer: absolute OS/X newbie here.

A:
The COM interface is windows-only.
For seeing what Applescript capabilities an application like iTunes has, you probably want to use the low-level AppleScript Editor utility, instead of Automator. The Open Dictionary... menu command in AppleScript Editor lets you open any scriptable application and see what objects & commands it supports.
There's also a large library of iTunes AppleScript examples at Doug's AppleScripts for iTunes http://dougscripts.com/itunes/itinfo/info01.php
