How can I install a program?

I'm new in linux and I don't know how to install a program in linux. For example a simple Mp3 player set up file "mp3player.tar.gz". After extracting it into memory What are the steps that I must do?

Code:
tar -zxvf mp3player.tar.gz
cd mp3player
./configure
make
su
<root password>
make install
exit
--you should also get used to reading README/INSTALL files...
