Firstly, Welcome to Linux!

Secondly, you should NOT feel that "[you]..[are]..so late". Absolutely 
and definitely you are "not too late".

What you are now going through is the mental adjustment from changing 
from the Windows environment to the unconstrained environment of Linux.

It requires some mental adjustment - nothing more nothing less.

And if you have been immersed in the Windows environment for some time 
then this adjustment requires some time to work through - however, you 
have all the necessary people here, and in other parts of Kubuntu/Ubuntu 
as well as Linux world as whole to make this transition as painless as 
humanly possible.

At this point I will leave your specific questions you have to others to 
answer but let me state that, for example, you can make Amarok play and 
single file you want and not, as you put it, "play lists".

Just as in Windows, you can set which application will be used to "open" 
(play) a file when you click on it - so you can play a single audio file 
with whatever application you choose.

But I will leave these details to others.

All I wanted to say is that whatever you did in Windows can, and is 
matched, in Kubuntu/Ubuntu - and even if there are applications in 
Windows which are not natively available in Linux they can be run by 
using, say, Virtual Box.

'nuff said.

Welcome to the world of Linux! :-)
