Unique Media Player

Step 1:

Let's start out by creating a new file. I used a 600x320 pixels canvas set at 72dpi, and I filled my background with a white color.

Now select the Rounded Rectangle Tool and above your screen under the options palette choose Fill Pixels, set the radius to 8 px and check anti-aliased. Create a new layer and draw a gray rounded rectangle with 534x267 px dimensions and #C7C7C7 color shade.
