Continue reading for the steps taken to achieve this result.

Begin creating your mp3 player

Step 1:

Let’s start out by creating a new file. I used a 500×600 pixels canvas set at
72dpi, and I filled my background with a white color. Then on your tools palette
set the foreground color to gray, color code #EDEDED.

Step 2:

Select the Rounded Rectangle Tool, above your screen under the options
palette choose Fill Pixels, set the radius to 20 px and check
anti-aliased. Create a new layer and draw a gray, color code #EDEDED
rounded rectangle, exact size 237×360 px.

Step 3:

Under Layer Style(Layer > Layer Style) add a Stroke blending option to your gray rounded rectangle layer.

Step 4:

Duplicate your gray rounded rectangle layer and under Layer Style(Layer
> Layer Style) add a Drop Shadow, Satin and Stroke blending options.

Step 5:

Create a new layer then draw a #74DCFF color shade rounded rectangle on
the middle of the MP3 Player design, exact size 204×223 px.

Step 6:

Now cut the bottom corners of the rounded rectangle from step five.

Step 7:

Under Layer Style(Layer > Layer Style) add an Inner Shadow, Satin
and Stroke blending options to your #74DCFF color shade rounded
rectangle.

Step 8:

In a new layer add the same rectangle with round corners from step six but black color.

Step 9:

Under Layer Style(Layer > Layer Style) add a Drop Shadow, Inner
Shadow, Gradient Overlay and Stroke blending options to your black
rounded rectangle layer.

Step 10:

On your layers palette set the layers blending mode of your black rectangle with top corners to Lighten.

Step 11:

Create a new layer, same location as shown on the picture draw a
#F5F5F7 color shade circle, exact size 26×26 px. Then under Layer
Style(Layer > Layer Style) add a Gradient Overlay blending option.

Step 12:

Create another layer, inside your gradient circle add a smaller circle
with #DBDBDD color shade and 20 x 20 px dimensions. Then under Layer
Style(Layer > Layer Style) add an Inner Shadow, Inner Glow, Satin,
and Stroke blending options.

Step 13:

Select the Rounded Rectangle Tool, in a new layer draw a gray, color code #DBDBDD rounded rectangle, exact size 62×27 px.

Step 14:

Under Layer Style(Layer > Layer Style) add a Drop Shadow, Inner
Shadow, Inner Glow, Satin and Strokeblending options to your gray
rounded rectangle layer.

Step 15:

Select your Horizontal Type Tool and above your screen under the
options palette set the font family to Arial, regular, 13 pt, crisp and
black color. In a new text layer type ‘Menu’ on the glossy button.

Step 16:

Create a new layer set(Layer > New > Layer Set), name ‘Button’.
In a new layer draw a #F5F5F7 color shade circle, exact size 35×35 px.
Then under Layer Style(Layer > Layer Style) add a Gradient Overlay
blending option.

Step 17:

Create another layer, inside your gradient circle add a smaller circle
with #DBDBDD color shade and 24 x 24 px dimensions. Then under Layer
Style(Layer > Layer Style) add an Inner Shadow, Inner Glow, Satin,
and Stroke blending options.

Step 18:

Now duplicate your ‘Button’ layer set twice and position them as shown below.

Step 19:

Select your Horizontal Type Tool and above your screen under the
options palette set the font family to Webdings, regular, 16 pt, crisp
and #00B9FF color shade. In seperate text layers type ’4′ ’7′ ’8′ and
position each play button on the empty buttons.

Step 20:

Create a new layer, next to the menu button draw a #E5E5E7 color shade circle, exact size 23×23 px.

Step 21:

Under Layer Style(Layer > Layer Style) add a Drop Shadow, Inner Glow
and Stroke blending options to your gray circle from step twenty.
