Do you have winamp installed on your machine? If not, the dxplayer that comes with DesktopX will work just fine. There are several player objects already made for you in the DX library. Just download one of them and go to it. You can right click on the various player buttons to see how they were made.

well the dxplayer.dll won't work with winamp 3.x, only works with 2.8x. But there is a DX player called sdplayer.exe. If you can find that (should be in a separate directory under stardock) and open that first, then all the controls should work fine. It has a playlist, an open file and an open directory command.
