This is a great little computer trick for people who listens to Itunes on their computer, while working. In my company this is pretty much the only way to be left undisturbed, wear a huge pair of headphones! And
So this is just a neat trick for those of you, who use Itunes on a Windows PC.
This lets you listen to music from Itunes, and have a micro player embedded in the Windows Task Bar, like this:
This little player control pops into your task bar when you minimize the Itunes player. I let's you control the music, rate it, adjust volume and basic things like that.
When you have Itunes installed you can turn this feature on by right clicking your task bar i Windows. The top choice in the resulting pop-up lets you select a number of embedded tools to your taskbar, a desktop dock, a windows media miniplayer, and here Itunes should be available for you.

I just wanted to add that you have to have "Minimize iTunes to System Tray" unchecked in the Advanced Preferences tab. I was confused as to why this trick didn't work, and that solved the problem. :)
Thank you for this! I had managed to accomplish it with a previous version of itunes, but I didn't know how, and I really wanted it to be back!
