I'm not really a developer, just an interested party, so this may be a dumb question. I have seen the iTunes COM for Windows SDK but what about an Apple SDK? Where would I find the protocol for controlling iTunes with an OS X box?

You can control iTunes with AppleScript. Just open the iTunes scripting dictionary with Script Editor if you want to see.

"This SDK contains the files necessary for iTunes Visual Plug-ins development for iTunes 1.1 or later, and includes documentation and sample code. Specifically, this SDK contains "iTunesAPI.h", "iTunesVisualAPI.h", and "iTunesAPI.c" that developers will use to develop their own Plug-ins. The sample code is a fully functional Visual Plug-in developed for Mac OS 9 with Metrowerks CodeWarrior Pro 6, and for Mac OS X with Xcode. [Jul 29, 2004]"
