Add mini-player "Docking" option
I like the mini player, but it would be really nice if it were dockable rather than free-floating. In winamp (yes I am a looong time winamp user so it's what I've become accustomed to) you can choose to *dock* the mini player to an edge of the screen (I choose the bottom of the screen).
This is superior to just "keep on top" because it never blocks any status bar or title bar or button etc in some other app (usually I have other apps maximized on screen).
Couple other nits on the mini player -
* dont need to show the menu names but if I type alt-F the file menu should just appear floating, etc
* would remove or at least downplay the X (exit) button and replace w/button to restore the main player which seems a more likely action for a user (eg, want to mod the playlist, see info on the track, etc) - maybe this is something a feather could control not sure
* should add keyboard shortcuts to change between player types, I am a BIG keyboarder, I hate the mouse
Thanks for listening!

Inappropriate?Thanks for the feedback tstevens. There is a "dock to top" bug feature request already logged in bugzilla and I thought your comments about docking it to the bottom as an option as well augmented it nicely so I added your comments there: http://bugzilla.songbirdnest.com/show...

Thanks for that Laura! -
Inappropriate?What are you propose ?!
Docking to left ? right ?! or on the top or down ?
I like see on the right and left like icq -
Inappropriate?One of the things I quite liked in winamp back in the day was the ability to have different sections of the mini player - a sort of modular approach with a part for controlling play back, a part for adjusting eq and a part for the song playing. Each of these parts could be expanded or collapsed, shown or hidden. Really useful :)
would this be at all possible?
I’m contemplative

Inappropriate?trying to get rid of winamp too...
I usually like the main player docked at the top with auto-hide and the playlist docked on the left with auto-hide enabled.
