A grammophone icon for music wouldn't exactly be cryptic to me and I'm not sure I ever heard one. But you said baffled when asked to describe, not confused by the icon. I think we have precedent in the iconography of specialist occupations that have already existed in preindustrial times. The various brewing implements that adorn the labels of many breweries, the geometry implements that now only live on in freemasonry.. They all have names, but those names are lost to everybody but those who enjoy accumulating knowledge of old-timey things. Baffled, yes. But the world already is full of that kind of echoes from the past, it's not like someone is confused by them. Those who might consider a box of 3.5" a box of old save icons grew up with those save icons, it's the world they know.
