   Is it possible to set a page where you can post like on the main page? (if you see what I mean...)
   Or like a page just for a certain category?
   I want to make a page to post music clips. Is it possible not to do it on the main page?

   Pages are not posts - if you refer to the Pages written in the admin area > Write > Write Pages.

   What you can do: exclude that (music) category from showing on the mainpage of your blog and show them only in their category archive view (simple: when clicking on the catgeory name).
   For excluding a category:
   1. See Plugins
   2. see The_Loop

   Yes, putting the clips in a category that's excluded from the mainpage would be a good alternarive.
   I'm looking through plugin directories...
   There's a plugin called Category Visibility that does just that but it's for WP1.5 only..
   Anyone knows one specific plugin that can do that?

   I don't think you need a whole plugin for this. This page:
   http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags
   Has info on lots of basic tags you can use within WordPress and the parameters etc. for them. You should be able to figure out how to include/exclude/single-out categories for your main page by looking at the categories tags options.

   Sorry, palyne, but that's wrong.
   Just with template tags you cannot exclude a category - unless you were thinking specifically of the query_posts tag which will modify the default Loop.
