To play MP3 files, look at the 'sticky' threads in the top of this forum, which tell you how to do it. There is lots of information on Google, also. Basically, they can't include MP3 support for legal reasons, but they don't make it hard to enable.

Second, to install rpm packages at the command line, type in "man rpm", and read the instructions. You can do a basic installation by typing in "rpm -i <package name>". Far better to do it through YAST, software management, since it will satisfy dependencies on the fly.

Third, to be able to write on that drive, change the permissions or group/owner, of the mount-point where your NTFS drive is mounted.

Answer 1 - http://opensuse-community.org/Multimedia (read the whole document and in particular see the one-click install called codecs-kde.ymp under the "Restricted Multimedia Formats (MP3, MPEG-4, etc.)" section.

Answer 2 - Use zypper from the command line. A friendly user guide is http://en.opensuse.org/Zypper/Usage.

Answer 3 - http://en.opensuse.org/NTFS. Here is an excerpt: by default, only root user can write on NTFS partition. Modify /etc/fstab to reflect dmask=002 to enable user writing. For example
Code:
/dev/sda1  /windows/C  ntfs-3g     user,users,gid=users,fmask=113,dmask=002,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0 0
Hope this helps!
