\\niTunes Tip:
\\niTunes: In iTunes 10 you can double-click on the \\xe2\\u20ac\\u0153Now Playing\\xe2\\u20ac\\x9d window (bottom left, if you have it showing) and it will pop out to show you a small window with the album art. Now if this is a movie, it will play, etc. But in iTunes 10 the album art for music ALSO has controls. So I now have a small square window in the top right corner letting me konw what is playing and allowing me to control the music and I have minimized my iTunes window. Sure I could use iTunes long-enabled mini window for this purpose but this is prettier.
