You can select from four appearances for your desktop
control panel. Simply double click on the track display
area of the panel, and a menu will appear which will
allow you to select from a pull down menu. On the same
pop-up are two other options: “Always on top” and
“Continuous Play”. If you click on “Always on top” the
desktop controls will always be seen on your screen, no
matter what other application you are running. If you

automatically start over at the beginning of the CD in
the drive as soon as it finishes the last track.
