Both Real player and Media Player can be resized to a point where the player looks like a mini player.

I think MC could easily have a similar feature. It currently stops resizing after a point presumeably to keep showing the panes, which I find unnessary.

Why not just use mini view?

1) You have the same visual interface. No cognitive adjustment between mega-me and mini-me is required.
2) It is easier for the beginners (no need to remember key strokes)
3) It is something other major player have and easy to implement

You can do this yourself. Of course the results may not be what you want.
First make a copy of the main .xml file in any megaskin directory located at  Program Files\J RIver\Media Center 11\MegaSkins. Then open the main.xml file with notepad or other text editor and edit the
<MAINFRAME>
<Data MinimumWidth="xxx" MinimumHeight="xxx" />

Section changing the "xxx" values to somthing like 40 and 40. Then save the file close the editor and apply the skin.

You should now be able to shrink the skin as far as you want.

As you shrink some features will no longer be visable and different skins may have other visual problems you will have to decide if you can live with them.

Cool!

<Data MinimumWidth="500" MinimumHeight="130" />

worked good for me. It could use a little bit polishing for general use though.
