I download a file called Winamp for Linux from here:-

Don't bother with winamp for linux -- it's easily 6 years old and there was a single technology preview release. There are much, much better players for linux such as XMMS. Use something which is at least maintained.
Also, "installing software" is a pretty vague term. Winamp, for example, comes precompiled. I'd bet you could probably just untar it and run the executable without having to do anything more, but most software is distributed as source and until you understand things a bit better I'd suggest staying away from the configure -> make -> make install process.
