Jun 12, 2017 Windows Media Player 12+ version was missing the one of the best features of older Windows Media Players (WMP) and that was the mini-player that appeared when you minimized it. The WMP Mini-Player allows you to access the media player right from the Taskbar or system tray area. Posted February 19, 2006 Ok i know in order to activate mini-mode with WMP10 (a feature where WMP10 plays in the taskbar) u have to check the 'Windows Media Player' option by right-clicking the. Windows Media Player 11 Mini-Mode (Taskbar) Not Working You know the thing that appears on your taskbar when you minimize Windows Media Player? With all the buttons (play stop volume etc.)? Well it won't go on the taskbar anymore, it just minimizes like a normal window. Windows Media Player 1 Answers. I am very confused and every link WMP has doesn't solve my problem. I want to arrange my music library in order of either artist A-Z, or song title A-Z.
I have a dream. A dream that in the future we will live in a world wide web in which information is shared freely and simply - without the need to sign up to a million bloody sites to write a paragraph.
I believe I may have solved the problem - that being no mini-mode in taskbar on a xp 32bit machine. (for 64 apparently it is not supported). As it turns out I solved another problem at the same time. My mspaint had disappeared from the computer and eventually I realized that it may have occurred when I removed some windows components through the add - remove programs window. I'd accidentally removed things I'd intended to keep because the process doesn't make it clear when it is removing or adding something. Anyway, popping in the xp cd and re-running this mspaint was back (so was my calculator among a few other things that I hadn't realized had gone, lol). I also noticed there is an option to remove media player and although I can't say for certain this is what had caused the problem because I'd already fixed mini-mode using Rinnaldo's fix (cheers mate - worked a charm), I am willing to bet that it was and this method would have sorted it out - Wuala (sic). Well, if it doesn't this post will at least help those out there whose mspaint has disappeared but keep getting unhelpful advice similar to djrico2006 below (thanks for the help). Although they probably won't find it in here, and signing up to one random web site tonite is enuf for me.

If you are playing mp3 songs on your windows media player then you don’t really need a huge screen feature, often you can minimize the media player but there is a inbuilt option to reduce unwanted screen layouts from the windows media player while you are playing only audio songs, we are talking about “Mini player mode” in windows media player.If you are not sure how to enable it then here are the steps to follow
Mini mode in Windows media player
1. Open windows media player
2. Go to Tools and then to the options menu
3. A Player dialog box opens where you will find “Start the mini Player for file names that contain this text” box, check it and add “.mp3” in the text box.You can also add real player format, divx, mp4 format or specific drive.
4. Click apply and open any mp3 file, there you have your mini media player playing audio files in mini-mode!
Mini player mode doesn’t work with all the version of windows player (works with windows media player 11).For other version you can right click on your taskbar, go to the Toolbar option and check the windows media player which displays a small media bar in your taskbar!
