I'm not entirely sure, I'm still trying to figure out how to install third-party tools without the Synaptic apt-get thingy, but try this:

1. First, oben this Application thingy and switch to advanced mode.
2. Search for package called "alien" and install it
3. Open the terminal go into the folder where the rpm lies and convert it with alien (type just "alien" in the console to get the right syntax for this, I'm at the wrong computer right now)
4. You now should've a *.deb file with the same name. Type "dpkg -i <filename>.deb" to install it.
5. All done now, type "winamp" (I guess) in the console and it should start.

Hope it works, I will try it myself, as soon as I get back from school.
