How to Hide the Music Player But Keep the Play and Pause Buttons
By default, the Windows Media Player has a standard window with all the player controls (Stop, Previous, Play/Pause, Next, etc.) at the bottom. However, you can hide this window and still be able to control the player. Using this feature, your WMP will occupy very little space on the desktop and you will have greater room for your work applications as you work and enjoy music at the same time.

Now you will see the Play and Pause buttons without actually seeing the player window itself.
