Not able to access Windows Media Player mini player

Windows 7 & WMP 12 Mini Player

I have used the mini player (taskbar)all the time in PX and vista. I was wondering why it was left out of WMP 12 and Win7? I was hoping that if a programmer reads this, you can add it back before the release. (PLEASE!)

Hi jasqid,

Thanks for posting your question to "Getting Ready for Windows 7" community forum.

If I'm understanding the question correctly, the miniplayer is activated if you click the StartORB / in the Search Line type Windows media player / Launch the player from the programs list.   Verify if this is the player you were referencing?  If it is not the player you were referencing do not hesitate to post back to us that information. 

Please let us know if this information assists you or if there is further assistance that is needed.

Jasqid,
The preview box when you highlight WMP has the forward backward and play/pause buttons.

So far that is all that I have personally found to be a good way of navigating.

I agree with you, the Windows Media Player toolbar is very useful.
It may have been removed infavor for a sleeker interface (consider the WMC gadget that you can add to your desktop).
Either way, lets see what the future result will be, ofcourse Windows 7 is not yet finalized.
