Description
There are five uploaded file types defined in file plugin. They are video, document, audio, image and general. The corresponding directories are Videos, Documents, Audio, Pictures and General.
When I uploaded a pdf file, a category Documents generated. The pdf file belong to this category. It is right.
When I uploaded a jpg file, a category Pictures generated. The jpg file belong to this category. It is right.
When I uploaded a mpg or a mpeg file, a category General generated. the mpg file or the mpeg file belong to this category. But I think a category Videos should be generated for the mpg file or the mpeg file.
When I upload the mp3 files, things get worse. Some mp3 files are recognize as audio file and some are not. All these mp3 files are played well in Windows Media Player and foobar.
This is my first ticket. I hope the administrator modify it if needed.

Elgg depends on the browser to set the mime type. Is there any way for you to point us at a mp3 file that is not being detected as an audio file? Also need to know what browser you were using.

I'm using Firefox 3.5.4. I never change the mime type of Firefox.
There are three sample mp3 files in Windows 7. I only remember the names of them. They are Kalimba, Maid with the Flaxen Hair and Sleep Away. Unfortunately，I removed these mp3 files and can't remember which one is not being detected as a audio file.

I ask other person transporting two mp3 to me. One is Kalimba, and another is Maid with the Flaxen Hair. I test the file uploading again. The attached file is made from screenshots after file uploading. The mp3s are too big to attach.
Sorry for uploading the file twice. The two attachments are same.

- Version changed from 1.6 to SVN Trunk
The elgg 1.7a core is revision 3854. The file plugin is nightly build Jan 30. The browser is Firefox 3.5.4. The mp3 file "Kalimba" is one of the native sample audio file of Windows 7.
While I'm upload the mp3 file Kalimba, a system messagebox appears: "Form is missing token or ts fields". The mp3 file was not uploaded to the website. I try to upload another mp3 file "Maid with the Flaxen Hair". It can be uploaded successfully. The attachment is the mp3 file Kalimba.
