The line identifies Skin.xml as an XML file. The first line of the Skin.xml file should be the line shown above. You can open your version and follow along.

I have listed line numbers on the left and code on the right. The content of that file is posted above. You can locate this file in your "C:\Program Files\Winamp\Skins\Simple Tutorial" directory.
#Winamp skin skin
The required file for any skin is the Skin.xml file. We will define them as elements and link them into our XML code later in order to use them. The graphics files are the parts that we're going to use for our skin. One thing to notice is that we like to use PNG file format. These are the graphics that I've used in creating Simple Tutorial skin. This means that if there's any include file tag inside player.xml, it will get those code also. The skinning engine will grab player.xml file in the xml subdirectory and paste whatever code that is inside player.xml into skin.xml. So in this example, we're looking at the skin.xml file. When the Winamp skinning engine parses this XML file and encounters that tag, it grabs the file specified within that tag and pastes whatever code is inside that file into the current file. One more thing I want to go over is the tag. Because our skin is relatively simple, there is only one file in that directory. The "XML" directory is usually where all the XML files are located. The "Player" directory contains all the graphics files for the skin. You can say that it is the entry point for the skin. It is the file that the Winamp3 skin engine looks for. The only required file for a skin is the Skin.xml file. Within the "Simple Tutorial" skin directory, there are three items: 1) Skin.xml file, 2) "Player" directory, 3) "XML" directory.
What we're showing here is the bare minimum example. Keep in mind that other skins may contain other files and directories that are not shown. We'll use the "Simple Tutorial" as an example. Lets take a look at what's in a skin directory. If you don't have it, you can get it here. To make changes to that skin, do the following: We do this to save space and to make it easier to distribute the skins. It is basically a zipped file of the skin directory. WAL (Winamp Abstraction Layer) is Winamp3 skin format. Instead of a directory for a skin, you may see only one file with a.

Next section talks about how to manipulate it. Each sub-directory and WAL files are a skin. Within the "Skin" directory, there are sub-directories and files. The section in blue is the "Skin" directory and the directory that we care about. If you open that directory ("C:\Program Files\Winamp") with Windows Explorer, it should look pretty similar. Above is a picture of the Winamp directory.
