Yes, they will do everything needed to get your music into iTunes. It is far easier to do it this way.
Most simply charge a small flat rate (~$10 a song, $40 an album).
If you want to do it yourself, you will need to register with Apple.
You will need to have at least 20 albums in yoru catalog.
See this -> https://itunesconnect.apple.com/WebObjects/iTunesConnect.woa/wo/2.0.0.9.7.3.1.1
(emphasis mine)
The requirements to work directly with Apple are listed below. If you do not meet all of these requirements, you can work with an Apple-approved aggregator instead. Aggregators are third parties that can help you meet technical requirements, deliver and manage your content, and assist with marketing efforts.
Technical Requirements:
A Mac running OS X 10.5.8 or later
At least 512 MB RAM
QuickTime 7.0.3 or later. This is so you can encode and deliver content using our dedicated software.
For optimal performance, use an Intel-based Mac running Mac OS X 10.5 or later. However, PowerPC G4 and G5 are also supported.
At least 20 GB of available hard drive space (more for larger catalogs) is recommended.
A broadband internet connection with an upload rate of 1 MB/sec or faster is recommended.
To deliver music video or concert film content to the iTunes Store, you must use an Apple-approved encoding house. Encoding houses typically charge fees for their services. Learn more about the differences between encoding houses and aggregators.
Content Requirements:
At least 20 albums in your catalog
UPCs/EANs/JANs for all products you intend to distribute
ISRCs for all tracks you intend to distribute
Financial Requirements:
A U.S. Tax ID
A valid iTunes Store account, with a credit card on file
Apple does not pay partners until they meet payment requirements and earning thresholds in each territory. (This means you will not get paid until you sell a certain minimum amount of content) You should consider this before applying to work directly with Apple as you may receive payments faster by working with an Apple-approved aggregator.
If you meet these requirements and wish to apply, click Continue.
Note: Meeting these requirements and submitting an application does not guarantee that Apple will work directly with you. You may still be referred to an Apple-approved aggregator.
