I guess I don't use my media players all that much, and I have all those controls on my keyboard, so I wouldn't need them on the taskbar. if this is what you mean. just put your windows media player into mini mode, or whatever its called, and put the shortcut, to windows media player, in the quick launch. In media player, select View menu, and Skin Mode, and when you open the player from the quick launch it is mini.
