Use the MiniPlayer in Apple Music on Windows
MiniPlayer takes up very little space on your screen and still lets you adjust the volume, search for songs, choose which songs play next, and more.
MiniPlayer displays the album artwork for the song that’s playing. When you move the pointer over the artwork, controls appear.
You can also show the album art — just select the album in the MiniPlayer; select to return to the original size.
