I love Pandora, I do. Such a great service, they changed the way people listen to music. However, I think the current Pandora iPhone app needs many improvements. They're probably working on one anyway, but this is my take on a pandora like music player. Mainly I don't think you need a full screen album art, why do I need to see that? Why can't I bookmark, search, add a new station with one tap? Anyway so I started this out as a Pandora redesign, then moved towards the colors I like. This is still work in progress. Anyway, this was a quick experiment that I can't wait to finish.
I really really like this Kerem! Such subtle details, and the white on white is MONEY. I totally agree too, I think that the user is more interested in having CONTROL over their music (with the option of seeing the full album art).
How clean! good work! Perhaps the outlines of the play button need some more work. It seems like you copy pasted it on top of the other buttons. I think a shadow will fix this. :)
It's looking very crisp and clean but I'm wondering why you haven't chosen for a darker tint of white/grey to pop out that button. It would focus the user on the play button a little more.
Thanks for all the feedback guys. Couple thoughts;
@charles I agree with giving them the option to see the art, that's in my notes.
@Gabriel@Glenn I don't think I agree with making the play button more prominent by adding contrast or changing color. Keep in mind, we are looking at music player and the main prominence of the play button is its size and shape comparing to other elements. So I think adding contrast/color would only get me away from the current minimal style. But, definitely rebound any specific ideas you guys have. Again all feedback is helpful, thanks!

Play button is sweet, but might look nicer with more contrast than the surrounding buttons :)

Loving how all the elements look touchable. Smooth, but they scream interaction.
