UPDATE:
You can download an updated version of this icon here.
Since making a new iTunes icon is all the rage here lately, this may as well be my first dribbble. Even though I quickly downgraded to iTunes 9, the old iTunes logo did feel outdated. I don't care for glossy icons though, and vinyl is still cool so this is my iTunes icon.
There actually are some, but at this small size they blend into the graphic (the vinyl design was originally done for use at much larger size). Maybe I'll rework it to make it more visible at icon size. Thanks!
DUDE. Now this is what I'm talking about. Simple and full of style. Could use a smidge of texture on the actual black threads of the record, but I love it. Nice job.
Anyway. Thanks everyone! Quite the warm welcome for a new Dribbbler. I am working on a refined version of it, and I'll turn it into icon formats so you who want to can use it as well.
By popular demand, here's a downloadable, updated vinylTunes icon (now featuring 100% more grooves). I've included one version with the shadow and one without.
It's free for personal use, but read the license.txt file anyway. Let me know if anything's not working or looking right. I don't own CandyBar or any other icon replacement apps so I haven't been able to test the .icns file (or the .ico file).
Very cool, man!
I understand why they removed the CD from the icon (they don't have nothing do to with music nowadays) but the new one is just plain boring!

This is nice, maybe some 'engraved' concentric circles.

So classy. Definitely will replace the abysmal thing that's there now if you release this.
They try to move iTunes past the CD, and you take it back to the record.

iTunes Icon
by Edward Sanchez
with added grooves.
And let's all pretend vinils don't have a hole in the middle eh? :-P

Ha, Edward. I tried it at first with the hole in the center, but it just didn't look good against a black background.
Oh, and I already beat you to it with the grooves though, the version I uploaded to my blog a while after I uploaded here has grooves. :D
