Before this one I started working on an icon with a piano keyboard
connected to a speaker, but it did not look very good. There is not a
lot of space when making these icons so a piano keyboard would be
unnaturally short and I don't know how detailed the keys could be. It
might end up looking more like a bar code ;)

As for the CDDB Daemon icon, the idea is that you are analyzing the CD
closely to get the information needed to look up the song titles. I
know that this is essentially how the process works. To me the fact
that it also goes to the internet was not as important.

Either way these icons are mostly done for fun and for Haiku's fit and
finish, since they are not seen very often. After seeing the fun and
somewhat cute direction the other server icons had taken (mostly
thanks to zuMi's skills), I wanted to continue in that direction.

As for the servers having hand icons, I am very much against that now.
The hand takes up a lot of space and there just isn't much room left
to do anything very interesting. I certainly appreciate the BeOS
heritage, but we can continue it in our own way. In fact if the
Bluetooth server icon is the only one using a hand I may just design a
new icon for it...
