Welcome to the forums, bmora96!

It's probably easiest if you use Synaptic to install your apps. Look for it in your admin menu. If it's not already installed, you can install it with apt. Go to a konsole and issue these commands:

sudo apt-get update

apt-get install synaptic

Let us know how it goes.

Adept Package Manager is pre-installed in Kubuntu and you should use that only. I prefer Synaptic over Adept because of its user friendly interface.

Now i want to install some applications like MP3 player / Open office etc

Koffice is pre-installed in Kubuntu and is based on Open Office only. For MP3, just open Amarok player and try to play any MP3 file. It will pop up a dialog box for codec installation. Install necessary codec through that.
Or
Execute this

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install kubuntu-restricted-extras
