I'm sure its somewhere in the KDE menus, probably under multimedia.

If you don't find it, open a terminal, type xmms, and hit enter.

XMMS is what I use. The GUI is a Winamp clone. It can even use Winamp skins. The tech underneath is genuinely different, though.

I really need to find out how to make a shortcut to it/other apps on the desktop, hows it done?

type man ln at a command prompt. or right click on a file in the gui and there should be an option to make a shortcut.
