This is a super nitpick, however the timeline/seek bar can indicate no buffer / cached data when playing long tracks. The track position should show a buffer/ shaded ‘grey’ highlight briefly in front of the play-head to show the buffer is prepped even if the actual data is not there (in reality it is streamed or to be streamed). A distinctive visual cue is perhaps needed to pad infront the track position.

A larger portion of the screen would be good to see. So far I’m not even sure which app this is.  
And Plexamp always downloads a song in full before playback anyway, so a buffering indicator is kinda pointless.
