These icons remind of the fact that I like to eat corn and shit all mixed together in a paste.

Hey, if I were currently immersed in writing a book explaining set theory, it would have sounded like that to me too, Iâ��m sure.

(continuing the same thought) In the oxygen SVN, the icons for C files, C++ files, header files, and C# files are blue, green, magenta and brown. I just think it makes a lot of sense, and would be a subtle way to distinguish file types in addition to compression type. Green for MP3, purple for OGG, blue for WMV, etc - what colors are which file types wouldn’t really matter, because
A) It would be immediately obvious when there is a mixture of different file types in a folder.
B) If it mattered, people would eventually remember which colors are which file types.
It is just a nicety. The fact that the icon shows compression is a step up from the Crystal icons I’m using, which just uses a speaker for anything, regardless of file type.

Separate question:
Are you going to do the same thing for video? (E.g. raw video formats versus compressed formats?)

Awesome icons! I’ve also looked at the SVN, and in just the few days, it looks like many of the suggestions mentioned here have been incorporated (such as using double notes for raw formats, and the right number of black keys on the MIDI icon, lol!). I’d like to add that making notes different colors for lossy formats like ogg, wma, mp3, and aac would be nice.

When I saw the difference between lossy and lossless, I figured the latter had two notes because it has a higher fidelity.

I like differentiating the two. I would further suggest you could use color to separate types of compression; ogg is red, mp3 is green, etc. As not all portable players play all formats, this could become important.

Overall, I like the icons.

I like the icons, in general, but It may be useful to at least differentiate Ogg file formats, because they are “really free” and because they may not work on portable players.

Also, WAV and IFF files may be compressed, even if that’s not very common. So that distinction may not be too relevant, unless the type system can identify the subtypes.

And yes, piano keyboards have the 2-3 key grouping.

Maybe you could put a G cleft on the score or something.

That’s the best idea I’ve seen in the context of the Oxygen idea. Really inonvative !!!! :-D
