If you get info (command-I) on a particular file there is an "Open With" section where you can assign the application which will be the default opener for that file type. Just below the application selector is a a "Change All" button which will change the assignment for this particular files but also for all files of this type. Hope this helps.

4. This isn't vlc specifically, but how can I set file associations? I want mp3s, oggs, and other audio to open in vlc by default, but all my media is on my windows partition. When I try to set vlc as default, I get the usual error I'd get had i tried to write to that partition, and the preference is not saved. Does OSX handle associations on a file-by-file basis, and is this why I get that error? If not, how can I set vlc to handle media files? I saw nothing about this in system preferences.
