I've added this page to the web site and help file that demonstrates Winamp automation. I use Winamp 2.78c myself, so only tested it out on that version. If any of you use Winamp and have an interest, take a look and let me know if you spot an areas for improvement.

Thanks to Rajat for his help with this.

I still like to have my own AHK toolbar at the bottom of the screen so I can add extras like a button to open my playlists folder as well as the normal buttons for minimizing increasing/decreasing volume etc.

I prefer using the winamp function library from jballi. Hotkeys can be troublesome if you have several apps running, so I try to avoid them.

Winamp does not need to be active to control it and you can use any input method, even hotkeys if you wish. I use the USBUIRT function library or TheGood's AHKHID function library depending on which remote I pick up. To simplify things all these libraries and more are included in my Easy Automation script.
