Well, COM is quite complex, so my first suggestion is going to MSDN for info.

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default....modelanchor.asp

(Tutorials)

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default..../com/comobj.asp

The two books I recommend are Essential COM by Don Box and Inside COM by Dale Rogerson.

ATL has made COM development much easier, so you may not want to spend too much time with raw COM, and invest more time in learning ATL.

Well I'm not working with MSVC++ ( I *could* dl it from MSDN) however. I'm simply learning how to call interfaces and related functions. I have the iTunes SDK and simply wich to get current playing track info uses it's available interfaces.

Then MSDN is probably your best bet for an introduction to COM. It shouldn't matter that you aren't using MSVC++ as long as your compiler can utilize the platform sdk's headers and libs, or provides its own(like Borland C++ Builder does).
