The packaging designs for CS4 are a clear departure from previous versions. This time using an ultra-simple, colour-based system to differentiate product, suites, and versions.
It sits somewhere between a Peter Saville / New Order sleeve and the dynamic Dopplr logo.

Anyway it’s a big improvement over the horrors of CS3.

Muxmaster is a wicked desktop app built with Adobe AIR that lets you stream music from Muxtape.com, and explore different mixes to find new music.
All my iTunes music is on an external HD which I often can’t be bothered carting about so this app is great if I’m travelling or streaming music around the house at the weekend.
We’re developing 2 AIR apps at glue at the moment and it’s clear that it’s sexy interfaces you can create and the cross-platform nature is really giving the desktop app / widget market a good kicking… but this is one of the best out there.
Have a look:

For streaming I use AirTunes and Airfoil.
