… but you have to do that before you switch to fullscreen mode. I’m not sure whether the ability to do this is a feature or a bug. It certainly seems like one: When you switch from fullscreen back to the desktop with the mini player you briefly see it flash its controls. That cannot be intended behavior. Anyway, they certainly should turn this into a feature.

Cohesion is a bit lacking and there are many small bugs, which is probably inevitable given the rushed release. I hope whoever worked on iTunes during the last two months (which must no doubt have been hell) gets a few days off and can then work on polishing and fixing those little bugs.
