i'm also a fan of symmetry but when it looks pointless to use it and is more functional without it then it doesnt make much sense to have it
esp in the case of a table, whereas to have a column fit its contents looks better than a huge gap and the gap not big enough on the other side
also space margin from column start to text start is different on both also so ther goes the symmetry
if you had the same margin on the right this reduces the available space even further, im sure others would have a similar view on the info table
the songticker text looks a little odd with the drop shadow effect, perhaps shift the shadow to the left a pixel, its making my eyes go wonky just looking at it while typing this
