How to Control iTunes From Your Taskbar

Written by Gilberto J Perera in Downloads, How-to | one response

View TutorialI found a very useful tip while browsing Digg the other day. It allows you to run iTunes from your taskbar, Windows Media Player has a similar feature, but based on the feedback through Digg (number of Diggs) it appears that not many people knew about it. Read the instructions below to find out how to control iTunes from the taskbar. If you have any questions/comments please let me know.


1. Right-click on your Taskbar, go to Toolbars and click on iTunes. (iTunes does not have to be open for you to do this.)

2. From now on whenever you minimize iTunes it will sit in your taskbar as mini player.

Note: You may need to go to the iTunes preferences and uncheck the "Minimize iTunes windows to system tray" checkbox in order for this to function.

    Thanks so much for this! Having iTunes as a regular minimized window was way to distracting to me while I was doing homework.

Note: I discourage users from using keywords in their names when posting comments, most of those are caught as spam and end up being deleted. It would be more productive and interactive if commentators use the name they go by rather than using an unrelated name. In the future I reserve the right to delete comments from users using a name other than their own.
