that you put in the middle of 45's so that they fit on your record player....
they're also on the cover of the viitalogy singles (at least spin the black circle, not 100% sure about the others)

Some vinyl, in particular those that are made to be played at 45 RPM have a large hole cut out of the center. The reason for this extends back to the old days when vinyl was played in juke boxes, which had a wide center spindle. In order for you to play these records on your turntables the adapter (a circular piece of metal) is placed on the center spindle to increase it's diameter. Plastic versions are available. Colloqially known as a "pig."

Why am I the only one who knows them as spiders?

And why do people have so many names for something as simple as a hole?!
It's not a hole, it's what fills it.

See!? See!? What is that dead center on the record?! IT'S A BLOODY HOLE, that's what it is! It's a hole! a damn hole! Not an Ipod, adapter or spider! It's a Hole! A Hole! A HOLE!
Case closed. That's a wrap. All's well that ends well. You don't have to go home, but you cannot stay here. Move along people.
HOLE HOLE HOLE HOLE HOLE HOLE!
