I stepped away from my computer and paused Pandora. When I returned, I noticed that they had updated the interface to include a large pause icon over the current track. This struck me for two reasons

1)It made it immediately apparent that the system was paused. In previous sessions, I had struggled with the play / pause toggle (largely due to delays in pumping sound into my headphones). However, I was also confused by the toggle itself. Was the grey triangle for play representing that it was "pressed" and therefore playing music? Or did the orange color indicate the state? In the new version, I have no questions, I clearly know when the system is paused.

2)The area to get the music playing again is MUCH larger than the small play button. Now I can click anywhere on the album cover to resume my listening session.
