Friends, I just discovered how to run winamp in Ubuntu. I'm amazed it runs!
1. Winamp was already installed in my windows directory (c:\windows\program files\winamp\winamp.exe)
2. I mounted (http://www.ubuntuguide.org/#windows) the windows partition in Linux
3. Browsed down to winamp installed in windows NTFS partition
4. Double clicked on winamp.exe
5. It runs, but can't play a file as yet. This is because winamp uses the direct sound system as default sound output. click "options-->preferences" from winamp menu, and change sound output to "wave out".
6. Now press L to load your favorite mp3, and press the play button!
7. Enjoy the music!
