Enable Windows Media Player 9 Mini-Player mode

[Reverend]

For those who didn't already know about WMP 9 Mini-Player Mode,i thought i'd post this little tip i just spotted over at ntfs.org

WMP 9 includes a Mini-Player mode that runs on the Windows taskbar. To enable WMP in Mini-Player mode, perform the following steps:

Right-click an unused space on the taskbar.
Select Windows Media Player from the toolbar context menu.

Windows will add a new blank space on the taskbar for the set of controls that will appear when you minimize WMP. When WMP is in Mini-Player mode, you can restore the regular WMP interface by clicking the bottom-right icon on the docked WMP control set.

mini-mode is cool. I love being able to surf the web, and watch one of the tv shows I captured over crazy browser.I forgot how to turn it on, so thanks for the reminder!

How could I miss not trying the mini mode out,a reminder box keeps popping up every time I start the player.I do like it though,less luggage than it's big brother.

This is an excellent feature.

Probably used to get your attention from the other problems ;)

Overall though, WMP 9 series peforms well, and has taken over winamp3 for video and audio - at least for me.

Another good feature is the media library creating album folders. :D

I still stay with winamp for music, but found this little app called crystal player you can find it here (http://www.crystalplayer.com/) works on everything I throw at it except vcd's and then I use powerdvd.
