Pop-out player

Well this might have been discussed earlier, but not sure how to search forum topics. Anyways, when I was using ChinesePod a few years ago, I know it was possible to put the audio player in a seperate pop-out window, and so could scroll along with the dialogue and pause the audio at any time, without having to go up to the top of the page. This function seems to be missing now, so I feel I need to download the lesson first into my ITunes, then pause it from there. Just wondering why this pop-out player isn't being used anymore, or if it would be possible to bring it back. Thank you!
