any way to access iTunes from Max?

I wonder if there is (but I bet no)
a way to access iTunes with an MSP external...

also I wonder why:

a) import command on buffer~
works badly with mp3s or apple's codec...
it cuts the songs even if you have assigned more than enough space
to the buffer and replace won't work with such formats...
(and I have enough RAM)

b) why there is not there a way to use waveform~ inspector with sfplay~? why just buffers and not direct to disk reading?

ok
enough,,,

any answer is very appreciated
