OurTunes is a Java-based software that enables easy access to all the iTunes shared music available on the network, all in one convenient platform.
One thing to keep in mind is that OurTunes needs to see other hosts on the network to be useful. If it doesn't see any hosts, check that you're not connected to a wireless network as this seems to cause some issues. If this doesn't resolve the problem, rest assured that the developers are working on it.
It's worth noting that you need to be on a network with other people who have iTunes sharing turned on for OurTunes to be at all useful. Additionally, the search box won't be enabled unless ourTunes sees at least one host.
The latest version of OurTunes comes with some notable improvements such as a more consistent user interface, better memory management, some tweaks for faster searching, and the ability to pause connecting.
If you're interested in examining the OurTunes source, you can download the .jar and unzip it either with the "jar" program bundled with java, or you can rename it to a .zip and use a standard unzip program. All the source files are located inside.
Updates to OurTunes have been infrequent of late due to the development team being quite swamped. Passworded hosts are on hold for now and they're also going to be slow in responding to emails. Nonetheless, OurTunes remains one of the best software solutions for people who need to browse iTunes shared music on their network in one place.
