foobar2000 on two desktops

Hello.
I have two displays and I want, for example, a big album art on one of them and the others on my main desktop. How can I implement it?
I could open two different windows (basic and portable foobar), but they won't be synergistic.
I could open one window without maximizing and stretch it in two desks, but I think this will be very uncomfortable.

Can you help me?
Thanks
Sorry for English.

The Popup Panels component will allow you to do this. The Columns UI component must be present and be installed prior to installing the Popup Panels component. You don't have to use Columns UI, but it must be installed for Popup Panels to function.

The drawback to using Popup Panels is you'll have to size the window every time you open something, but luckily you can have multiple panels open.

Thank you! I've done this, but now I have a little problem. When I minimize the foobar window (at main display), all popups (at all displays) minimize too, disappear. Is there any way to hold popups permanently on the screen?
I very often use the minimize-all-windows-button and the same key combination.
