click the maximize/restore button (left of the close (X) button).

Edit: oops. We posted at the same time.

Alan: Just click the Restore button (the one between minimize and close) in the main iTunes window to switch to miniplayer mode.

Doh!!! Doh!!!!! Doh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ah, I'm sorry. I was using an old version that didn't work. Updated it to 2.6 and it works fine.
But then again, right clicking the tray icon brings up the RBtray context menu instead of the iTunes menu

Same problem here, fortunately I don't have that many oggs (altho it is my prefered format, I still have the majority of files in mp3) but I've taken to using it for radio now anyway, DI.fm's 128k Hardcore channel is nearly always open here

I installed it, noticed the Quicktime icon in the systray, qtask in the startup programs under msconfig, and the helper service in the services menu. I uninstalled it. I don't need this program.

 

[NetRyder]

The QuickTime system tray icon can be removed by right clicking the icon, and unchecking a box in the preferences.
Qtask isn't required and can be unchecked in msconfig.
The iPod service can be disabled if you don't have an iPod to free up some memory.
The Gearsec service is used for the integrated CD burning and ripping capabilities of iTunes.

Ditto
The radio stations are just great. I find myself listening to them more than my mp3s now.

 

[SPeedY_B]

Yeah, I'm not sure why though, these radio stations have always been available via WMP and Winamp, but I never really used to bother with them.
Perhaps it's just the way it's presented.

I can't on 56k modem

 

[Bronx Bomber]

wow, people still have 56k modems?

 

[coathanger007]

Cable still not installed in my region and satellite too expensive. Can't wait for wireless

 

[Bronx Bomber]

yea, i remeber how it was before i got my cable modem. i cant believe i could actually play online games with it.

 

[coathanger007]

Problem is you can't. If you've tried Quake 3 it's a fragfest and you're everyone's target.

 

[Electronic Punk]

wireless is coming to my area.
They think they can provide 512/512 access via WAN by installing a 2meg line and distributing it that way.

I am sceptical.

Beats 56k hands down - jealous

 

[Electronic Punk]

Hmm, yeah reading thru sounds ok.
At worst with their contentions the worst I will get is 512.512
