SendMessage(hwnd_winamp,WM_WA_IPC,0,IPC_STARTPLAY) or SendMessage(hwnd_winamp,WM_COMMAND,MAKEWPARAM(WINAMP_BUTTON2,0),0). using IPC_SETPLAYLISTPOS allows you to set which file will be played when using either of the above methods (personally i use the wm_command option but it's your choice)

I've tried that and for some reason it will replay the current song not the one i have selected
