It will be great to have a pause when ever there a TTS annoucement then re start where it left off. Maybe aim asking too much but, it will be cool if it restarted in a gradual maner, increasing vol. until it reaches it set vol.Hector

There is a setting in the config page to pause iTunes when HS is speaking. When hs has finished speaking music is restarted in a gradual maner.
Warning: if you set this new setting to "Yes" and if you use Airplay Speak plugin, then in the Airplay Speak config page you will need to set "Forward speak events to HS speakers" to No, otherwise the TTS annoucements will be send twice to the HS speaker clients, because in this case both plugins are acting as speak proxies.

If there is something specific you would like to do, but you can't do it that way, just ask, and I will see if I can add it.
Currently there is no option to rate songs, but I could for example add a rating device which would give the rating of the song currently played, and I could add some plus and minus buttons to decrease or increase the rating of this song. Would that fit your needs?
As for scripting, there is no specific scripting functions implemented, but as for triggers and actions, I think you can use the devices (through the Device Control API = CAPI) to script some iTunes actions.

How do I use it with HS Touch?
I am completely stuck. With the ITunes or Media Player Plugin in HS2, it would give me music controls so I could display and select easily using list controls. I cant figure out how to do so in HS3 with HStouch and this plugin. Any help is appreciated.HS 3.0.0.199 Pro/Insteon 3.0.5.20/3 Venstar Insteon Therms / Insteon Thermostat 3.0.2.2 / DirecTV 3.0.0.14 / OpenSprinkler 2.0.5.21 / ITunes DAAP 3.0.0.23/ UltraM1G3 3.0.5437.37424/ UltraWeatherbug3 /HSTouch Svr 3.0.0.68/Zwave 3.0.1.25/Ultramon3/Global Cache 5.0.0.17/Various BLXXX Plugins.

With the current version of the plugin what you can do in HSTouch is:
(a) use the iTunes DAAP devices to provide basic controls within HSTouch : Play, pause, volume, display what's currently playing, etc..
(b) integrate the web player interface (http://<your_hs_ip>/itunesdaapplayer) as is in HSTouch

Spud,
Would it be possible to add a feature similar to what you did in XBMC to allow a song to be played from an event?
let me know what you think.

Multiple Itunes Instances
Not a plugin purchaser yet as I've haven't migrated to HS3, but soon!
I'm wondering if it would be possible to control multiple instances of iTunes. I'm still figuring out how to plan my whole house audio and since this can direct output to multiple airplay speakers it seems like a great fit (just need to make sure every room has an airplay device). Right now I'm even experimenting with making my android in wall touchscreens show up as airplay devices and it seems to work great.
Now if I could control a second instance of iTunes, I could provide different streams to different rooms. Just dreaming here but that would be very cool.
I suppose a second request would be for you to look at DACP control. If this could make my Apple Tv boxes play content, that would be really great.
