  2. Under the "Advanced" tab, check that the check box "Keep Mini Player on top of all other windows" is checked with the tick. Press "OK". Now, every time you go to the Mini Player, it will remain on top of all other windows! To continue and view the mini-player...
  3. Go to the "View" menu on the top left of the iTunes window, then select "Switch to Mini Player" at the bottom of the menu.
  4. You can adjust the width of the window to view the controls and the current playing song, or to just display the controls. You can now select whatever window you wish, and have peace of mind that those unwanted songs don't demand you to switch window every 3 minutes!! Enjoy!
