The Winamp SDK is a collection of code and examples projects that illustrate how code can be written for Winamp. If you are looking to write a plugin but don't know where to start, try looking for an example project that does something similar. You can then check out that specific section of code and begin learning how winamp works.

You can download a copy of the Winamp 5.55 SDK here.
