iTunesOnTop

27 October 2004: iTunes 4.7 finally supports this natively. Thank God. iTunesOnTop remains here purely as a historical curiosity
iTunesOnTop addresses the number one whinge levelled against the otherwise excellent iTunes for Windows : "why won't it stay always on top like winamp does?"
It's a visualisation plug-in that will force iTunes to stay on top when it's in it's small player mode. As an added bonus you don't need to make it the active visulization or otherwise enable it. This is kind of fortunate since the visualization it does would induce epilepsy (blame the Apple SDK sample code).
Simply download the dll into a directory called "Plug-Ins" (no quotes) which you should create under the main iTunes directory (typically "C:\program files\iTunes\"). That's it. You can ignore it from then on, but iTunes should stay always on top.
Here's hoping that Apple make this obsolete real soon.
- iTunesOnTop.dll (binary only)
What they're saying about iTunesOnTop:
- Right on! This doesn't crash xp like that other "on top" program - LoboVerd
- thanks man, the plugin is off the chain - Anon

I only wish iTunes (for Windows) would minimize to the system tray.
As of 4.7, it will also do this.
Goto Preferences in the Edit menu and then click on the Advanced tab.
Near the bottom you will find the relevant check box.
Has anyone else had issues with the iTunes 5.0 miniplayer not displaying on top? Whenever I select the option for it to stay on top of other windows it still won't do it. I might try this to see if it helps...
I'm having the same issue with iTunes 5.0. The miniplayer will not remain on top of all windows.
Yeah i need this plugin supported in version 5.0+
THe iTunes toption for 'always on top' doesn't work if u place the miniTunes window on top of the Windows taskbar.
Any possibility of bringing this plugin back from the dead to support this?...
SOLVED...
I had the same problem with the miniplayer not staying on top in version 5.0.
I went to download the plug-in listed above, but then realised that it was already in the iTunes folder (I guess it stays there after previous installations).
Anyway, I figured maybe there was a clash, so I deleted the plug-in and *hey presto* problem solved, and the miniplayer stays on top if you set it to.
Hope this helps guys.
thanks alot it woked like a charm after i deleated that foulder
It doesn't work for me.... =(
