Itunes taskbar player

Question

iTunes has (or had...?) an option where when you minimize itunes it goes onto the taskbar as a miniplayer, not to the system tray... does this still exist in itunes 6 (i had to uninstall and reinstall itunes and i cannot find that option) and if so where is the option to do this located?

Answer 1

I've never been able to get it to go anywhere but the system tray.

You can collapse the iTunes window into a "mini player" that shows just the playback controls and status. You can also make the Mini Player window float in front of all other windows, or minimize it to the Windows task bar or system tray.
To shrink the iTunes window down to a floating Mini Player window, choose Advanced > "Switch to Mini Player." To show or hide the song and status information, drag the bottom-right corner of the window. Click the Restore button to return to the full iTunes window.
To make the Mini Player float in front of all other windows so you can always see it, choose Edit > Preferences, click the Advanced tab and click General. Then select the "Keep Mini Player on top of all other windows" checkbox.
To minimize the Mini Player to the Windows task bar, right-click an empty area of the Windows task bar and choose Toolbars > iTunes. Click the Restore button to return to the full iTunes window.
To minimize the Mini Player in the system tray, choose Edit > Preferences, and click the Advanced tab and click General. Then select the "Minimize iTunes window to system tray" checkbox.
