媒体播放器控件的放置
我正在开发一种媒体播放器类型的应用程序。
我注意到苹果的 iTunes 在应用程序窗口的顶部有播放控件。 但是，更多的是，每个其他应用程序或基于网络的媒体播放器都在底部手侧具有控件。 （Windows Media Player、Winamp、VLC、YouTube 以及所有其他基于 Flash 或 SilverLight 的媒体播放器）。
现在，由于苹果公司以其用户友好性而闻名，他们这样的安排一定是有原因的。
有没有关于这个主题的研究？ 这只是一个噱头，还是背后还有更实质性的想法和理论？
I'm in the works of developing a media player kind of application.
I have noticed that Apples iTunes have the playback controls on the top of the application window. But, more of less every other application or web based media player has the controls on the bottom hand side. (Windows Media Player, Winamp, VLC, YouTube and every other Flash or SilverLight based media player).
Now, since Apple is known for its user friendliness they must have some reason for this placement.
Are there any studies made on this subject?
Is it just a gimmick, or is there any more substantial thoughts and theories behind this?

我不知道这是否是苹果选择这个位置的具体原因，但在对英语国家（从左到右语言）的一般阅读研究中，人们倾向于以“Z”的形式从屏幕上获取信息模式（即，它们从左上角开始，读到右上角，穿过中间，然后从左到右读到底部）。
如果将控件放置在顶部附近，普通用户更有可能更快地注意到。
I don't know if this is the specific reason that Apple chose this placement, but in general reading studies of English speaking people (left to right languages), people tend to take in information from a screen in a "Z" pattern (that is, they start at the upper left, read to the upper right, cross down the middle, and read the bottom from left to right).
If you place the controls near the top, it is more likely to be noticed more quickly by the average user.
我想如果您查看基于闪存的播放器，按钮通常位于控件的底部，因为它足够便携/足够小，无论它是否位于顶部。 对于实际的桌面类型播放器，Windows Media Player 具有与任务栏集成的小工具栏。 Winamp 最小化到最有用的按钮。 然后，这两个应用程序都有无数可以改变位置的皮肤。
我想说你最好的选择是允许用户自定义它，即可停靠窗口和窗口。 酒吧。 我的2分钱。
I suppose if you look at flash based players, the buttons are generally at the bottom of the control since it's portable/small enough not to matter whether it's on top or not. For actual desktop type players, Windows Media Player has the little toolbar that integrates with your taskbar. Winamp minimizes to its' most usable buttons. Then again both these applications have a myriad of skins that change the location.
I would say your best bet is to allow the user to customize it, i.e dockable windows & bars. My 2 cents.
iTune 的布局遵循 Apple 人机界面指南。 他们为 OS X 应用程序定义了标准窗口布局，以确保应用程序之间的一致性并使用户体验更轻松。
该指南定义了什么是工具栏和底部栏：
我不认为将播放器控件放在应用程序窗口顶部有明显的可用性优势，但是当给定环境中存在标准时，您必须考虑它。 设计界面时，一致性和标准非常重要，因为它们可以缩短用户的学习时间并使他们更加舒适。
iTune's layout is just following Apple Human Interface Guidelines. They define the standard window layout for an OS X application to ensure consistency between applications and make the user experience easier.
The guidelines define what a toolbar and a bottom bar are :
I do not think there is a clear usability advantage to put player controls on top of your application window, but when there is a standard in a given environment you must consider it. Consistency and standards are very important when designing an interface because they cut learning time for your users as well as making them more comfortable.
Songbird 最近将播放控件从上到下切换，他们的博客上有一些有趣的讨论。

Songbird recently switched the playback controls from top to bottom, there's some interesting discussion about it on their blog.
