Hello

This is the Tutorial number 49 from the 100 Marathon Tutorial
As i have told you i will try to add a tutorial each day.

Today we will make a MP3 player. or you can use it as a mp3 myspace player of course after you will transform into a flash player

Open a new document in photoshop with a black background #333333
The size of the document can be 500X500 pixels

Create a new layer ( press Ctrl+SHIFT+ALT+N )
Grab the Elliptical Marquee Tool and make a selection

Select Rectangular Marquee Tool ( press on Subtract from selection ) and delete the top and the bottom selection from this circle

Select Paint Bucket Tool and fill this selection with White then add the following layer styles

Duplicate the layer and resize it with a few pixels

Then Select one more time Elliptical Marquee Tool and draw another selection

Create a new layer ( Press CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+N ) And fill one more time the selection with white with the Paint Bucket Tool
Press CTRL+D to deselect

Add the same layer styles as above

Then duplicate this oval shape and make it a little smaller
basically you will repeat the steps from above but for this time we will use
another shapes

This buttons are very simple and you can do this alone . Just use rectangle Tool and Polygon tool and i am sure you can create some basic mp3 player buttons

Create another selection like in the next image

Create a new layer ( press CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+N )
And after that With The Paint Bucket Tool Fill the selection with White

The go to Filter > Render > Difference Clouds
