I posted this in the computer tricks thread, but honestly thought alot of you would want to take advantage of this in case you don't see the other thread. I have wanted a mini player for iTunes forever and just randomly found out a way to get one. Right click on your taskbar, click 'toolbars', then check iTunes.

You don't even need to have iTunes running and it will automatically play whatever playlist you recently had open. I'll throw a pic on for you guys. enjoy

well iTunes is still running when you do that, it's just minimized...it does the same thing with Windows Media Player (not that anyone uses WMP haha). to the person asking how you move your taskbar, click on it, make sure "lock taskbar" is turned off, then grab the taskbar and move it around. when you're done, lock it again.

on my non-gaming computer i use WMP, it uses, or at least it seems, to use a lot less resources then Itunes (my computer is a little older)

well neither of those programs is good anyways.

fun fact: in the EULA for iTunes, it tells you not to use iTunes to build nuclear or atomic weapons.

ok nvm about that.

But when I minimize something and it goes to that rock dock tool bar, it is just blank, no mozilla logo or anything

theres a tools icon that comes on rocket dock when you install it, click on that and you can change preferences and shit.

And thanks for the iTunes hint. works great! +k

I have a strong dislike for itunes. wmp seems to have a much more logical layout. i'm like the only person who doesn't have an ipod though so it doesn't matter for me

You can go to rocket dogs website and search for the OSX layout too.  Then it will actually look exactly like a mac.  I don't like it though, I like to use the black XP theme with the rocket dog bar.  Best of both worlds!
