Yes, using AppleScript.  Keep in mind, if the main library is *huge*
(thousands of songs) it could take several seconds to grab the list.

The following function should work (you'll have to parse the results by
item).

 function getTracks
  put quote & "library" & quote into L
  put \
      "tell application"&& quote & "iTunes" & quote & cr &\
      "get name of every track of playlist" && L & cr &\
      "end tell" into s
  do s as AppleScript
  put the result into tList
  return tList
 end getTracks


NOTE: We're close to releasing a Rev shell stack (lib-iTunes, if you will)
that allows you to control almost everything about iTunes (no disc burning
though).  This will allow you to create your own skinnable iTunes controller
with Rev.
