And i too am one of those that keeps it to the < 48px icons, any bigger and i find my desktop is way too cluttered, even on 1280x1024
Keep up the work!
Personally, I don't think I've ever found a need to go any higher then 48x48 for my desktop. Maybe I'm just one of those weirdos who likes to keep things small. And I don't "get" people who like big icons ..
Like I was saying: they look good. Very crispy and a sweet presentation for 'em as well (.zip / screenshot / etc.).
(Metallica next? ..
I realize that I mentioned these icons are based on a set I found some time ago available only in MacOS format, but this doesn't mean I shouldn't release this set or others like it. The original "CD icons" (which weren't named that at all) were only available in 32x32 and were quite bland. I based my CD Icons XP sets off of this set, it was not simply me copying the original. I've spent countless hours perfecting the concept of the CD icons, and many more creating new ones.
They don't always go up to at least 128x128, but it is a common occurance for OS icon sets. This, however, is not a replacement set for your Windows XP icons, and I didn't feel that the 128x128 size was necessarily needed. I may at some point go back and create larger sizes, but I don't see these being used on the desktop as much as icons for album-specific folders in music collections. I could be wrong though.
GREAT JOB.... Sorry I'm too tired to write a longer critique,,, Its very well done indeed!!
Funny you should mention that, because I created these icons quite a while back and my second set was the Dave Matthews Band CD Icons XP set.
I'll be slowly updating all my previous sets (7 I think) with any recent album additions as well as add PNGs to the .zip file for those people who don't have Windows. It took me quite a while to do this yesterday, as I hadn't created these icons in a while and it's a bit of a process. But now that I remember how to do it and I have some Photoshop actions to help me out, I should be able to pull new sets together fairly quickly.
I'll have to let you know when I update the next set I suppose.
