I wonder why they don't call it Linamp?

Doesnt Exist.
Winamp doesnt run on Ubuntu. Its a Win32 application only, (hence WINamp)
Use Amarok instead. It's what I used when I was on Ubuntu. Pretty solid application if you ask me. Just make sure you use Automatix2 in order to get the correct codecs and so forth.
From a terminal window, just run this line:
sudo apt-get install amarok
and in case you don't have the cool codecs for DVD playback and so forth install Automatix2. I would post the steps it entails, but apparently the board doesnt like me posting Linux terminal command lines.
If you REALLY wanna have some fun/get a headache, try running Beryl. Depending on your graphics card manufacturer (nVidia v. ATi) you can get a really cool virtual desktop setup.
