That's not true - you can access the apps' interchange files, which are
just
regular property lists. (For example, ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music
Library.xml.) These files are explicitly provided for data interchange -
they're not the actual databases the apps use, just shadow copies in a
public data format.
Karelia's open-source iMedia Browser framework has code for doing all
this.
I don't believe that was ever made explicit. I've always operated
under the presumption that those XML files were for the sole use of
the iLife apps and the media browser. Judging by the responses on
MacOSX-Dev, I'm not alone.

I can confirm that reading the ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music Library.xml
file works fine.
One of my apps does it since many years and it works great.
