One of the annoyances I always had with iTunes, was having to click so many times to get the window up so that I could skip songs. Starting with iTunes 9, there is a new Mini-Player mode you can enable by going to View > Switch to Mini Player. The only problem is, that I want it on top of all of my other windows so that I can quickly access it. Luckily, there is a setting to enable this feature.

1. Click Edit.

2. Click Preferences.

3. Click the Advanced tab.

4. Check the box for Keep Mini Player on top of all other windows.

5. Click OK.

Now you can quickly rewind, play or forward songs.
