You are absolutely correct John - as far as mp3 players are concerned
RISC OS filetyping is irrelevant.

Incidentally if the extension is missing then this can be "set" by a
neat little program from Bernard Veasey called PCType. Simply dragging
a directory containing all mp3s over the iconbar icon automatically
adds an /MP3 extension. Very nice.
