Songs bought in iTunes do not play in rockbox. You have to unlock (i.e. remove the DRM to use them). Unfortunately, I cannot tell you how to here, but you can do a google search.

Are the files tagged properly?  They may be getting added to the database, but listed under untagged.

I don't even know what you are trying to say. Please take the time to use correct words and punctuation and explain what formats the files are in, whether they have tags and what tags they have (if any), and how they show up in the database.

When you say "go through them" do you mean during playback?  What do you mean it will take you to your tagged music?  You mean that Rockbox will jump to a file that you never told it to play?

Okay, that means that they aren't tagged with that information.  If you have told the database to update since you added them then they should be listed under < Untagged >

About half-right...iTunes has DRM-free files that play just fine in Rockbox too.

Ah, yes, sorry. I forgot that iTunes Plus songs are DRM-free. Silly me! (Hee hee. That rhymes.)
