I've seen your last couple attempts and the design on your sites and you have a REAL problem with gradients. This is the best advice I was ever given about design and I hope to hell you take it. Gradients are NOT meant to be so drastic. It is supposed to be a VERY subtle effect. They look absolutely horrible and 'hey look, i just got photoshop' amateur hour when done the way you are doing them.
Also, your buttons or icons on the player are just too stretched out. They look cheesy. I made a little graphic that I think illustrates my point.
