just check the box for it to fade out completely. Then you'll have to bring it up manually using the quick action box or the overlay.

Thanks, Mike. Perhaps I am misunderstanding how this works, but I see two drawbacks here:

1) To call the player I have to switch to overlay mode, which reduces image size. The alternative, which I just set up, is short-cut screen touch to call up the player. This is a good work-around for me, but...

2) I must then remember which of my 200+ songs have an associated audio file -- not so easy for this merely human brain to do.

In pseudocode, what about something like this...
IF (SongHasAudioFile = true)
    DisplayPlayer == true
ELSE 
    DisplayPlayer == false
END

So that when the Player is set to be displayed, you first check to see if the loaded Song actually has an audio file that could be played?

Many thanks,
