New Design Suggestions

If you're going to do nothing but copy bad illegible UI, what's next, Window's 3.1 Hot Dog Stand theme?

But seriously, since your UI designers seem to want to copy something, how about a few suggestions.

Even Android Holo, which presumably you're trying to copy, isn't pure white, and has clear sections and grads: http://pictures.recombu.com/news/M16866/1329409351_w670_h421.jpg

I hope they don't f up the iPad UI: http://techtoinks.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-o-matic/cache/43637_rdio-ipad-app-screenshot.jpg

I get that it's kind of iTunesey, but at least it's legible: http://s3.amazonaws.com/bestvendor-paperclip/screenshots/446/optimal.png

This is "minimal" and doesn't assault my face: http://psdho.me/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/audio-player-interface-widget-full.jpg

Even the Google Music interface is better, and look they have a rewind button!: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-80E1tsbZ6K0/Ts3Gii0ZZkI/AAAAAAAACLU/ClOOFqixQjU/s1600/Screen+shot+2011-11-22+at+PM+09.59.34.jpg

The Adobe Media player has a more pleasing interface?: http://i.i.com.com/cnwk.1d/i/bto/20080721/adobe_media_player_home_7.21.2008.jpg

Not sure if this is better, but it's not nuking my eyes: http://twi.im/view/justhadsexc.JPG

I don't love black, but it's better than white: http://img830.imageshack.us/img830/6536/silentnightv4byarnie77.png

God, even the Zune software had a lot going for it: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5LHqRKzcxUo/TWKuySkg_9I/AAAAAAAAAfk/zA7_OqwVjUI/s1600/zune_software_1.jpg

Amateur and ugly, but at least it looks intentional and not broken: http://th00.deviantart.net/fs49/PRE/f/2009/186/e/b/Zune_Player_Desktop_by_kyosan1988.jpg

Above all, try and create your own identity. Even though it could use an update, I miss this: http://static1.djtechtools.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Screen-Shot-2011-08-30-at-11.52.07-PM-560x392.png

This guy took a stab at it. It successfully merges the old Rdio identity with the new layout: http://dribbble.com/shots/620499-Rdio-Mac-App-Redesign

Somebody else did some work for you: http://dribbble.com/shots/566311-Rdio

This looks pretty sweet, oh, wait: http://dribbble.com/system/assets/2323/30071/screenshots/555220/shot.png?1336686889
