Software to Compile iPod Library List?

Does anyone know of software that will provide a list (possibly in XML) of your iPod's contents?
Seems like it might be a relatively easy thing to do, but I'm not a software programmer.

I believe the iPod uses its own copy of your iTunes library to keep track of what it has on it. If you plug it in, enable disk mode and poke around you may be able to find it.
The know the iTunes Library file is just xml, I would expect the iPod's to be the same.
What is your goal here? There may be another means to the end. :)

File > Export Library
Creates an XML file of your library.

Hmmmm... I guess XML isn't what I was looking for...
What I'm trying to do is have a list of the artists from my iPod. If it were possible to create a .txt file of such a list, that would serve my purposes nicely.
Any ideas?
Oh, and thanks peroty and carmodyarc for the tip, I honestly didn't think to try iTunes

I was going to tell you to just style up the xml... but it looks like they use
<key>for every instance, so that's no help...
