#1 Put player controls on CD that's now playing

The CD that's currently playing could have CD controls (back /
pause / fw) badged onto it. That would both indicate which CD is
playing, and let you control it directly from there.

I visualize this as the same three circles that appear in the Now
Playing window, only smaller, and aligned with the bottom edge of
the CD window so that half of the circles are sticking out the
bottom. That way it doesn't cover too much of the cover art, and
the different shape of the window makes it easier to recognize.
(This will require making the window taller, to fit the buttons, but
leaving the extra bottom part transparent.)

I take it back: the best way to implement this is by using a child window.
Leave the CD window alone, but make a transparent child window
containing the player controls. By attaching it as a child, it will
automatically follow the CD window if it's moved.
