I love Volumouse. I use it at work a ton because I don’t have a volume control on my mouse.

I find it burdensome to activate a media player window in order to change the volume. With Volumouse you can specify a hot key to hold down when rolling the mouse wheel to change the system volume. It comes in handy when you need to immediately mute or lower the volume.

While I’m not particularly fond of the name, musikCube has exceeded my expectations. First of all, it’s open-source. On top of that, it has a relatively low footprint and it’s fast.

I was pleasantly surprised to see a [Last.fm]http://www.last.fm/) plugin.

Here are some nice features I noticed off the bat:

• filtering while you type (like in explorer, but more robust)
• customization of the view panels (add as many as you wish: album, artist, genre, year, etc)
• dynamic playlists
• tag editor with automatic capitalization features, etc

If you have some spare time, I highly recommend giving musikCube a whirl as an alternative music player.

I’ve been keeping a close eye on the typo theme contest, and trying to convice Matt to design one, but alas… the contest has ended and no theme from him. While there are some great ones out there (Matt, you could’ve made a great one!), there are minor discrepancies that prevent me from using a particular theme. Except one. I am partial to Scribbish. It’s consistent. Props to the author.

I’m now anxiously awaiting the results to see who wins the Typo Theme Contest
