Hi, Yes,
Tables, Openoffice Calc and/or IWork are the way to go for Spreadsheets. Text Edit, Nicis Writer, Openoffice Writer, and/or IWorks are great for word processing. As far as music, Perian, Quicktime, flip4Mac, and iTunes make a nice set that cover most formats. There is another program I don't recall the name of that is an extention to Quicktime. There is always VLC Player. As far as composing music, Garageband is my favorite.
