Out of morbid curiosity (and boredom), I started wondering what types of
audio files I had on my systems. I ran "file --mime-type" on 6.8 million
files, looked for "audio/whatever" and got the file extensions.
Extension MIME-type
---------------------------
.8svx audio/x-aiff
.aif audio/x-aiff
.aifc audio/x-aiff
.aiff audio/x-aiff
.ape audio/x-ape
.arm audio/amr
.au audio/basic
.flac audio/flac
.m4a audio/x-m4a
.mp3 audio/mpeg
.mpc audio/x-musepack
.oga audio/ogg
.ogg audio/ogg
.opus audio/ogg
.ra audio/x-pn-realaudio
.voc audio/x-unknown
.wav audio/x-wav
If nothing else, it's faster to run "locate" and look for file extensions;
running "file" on that much crap took nearly 9 hours.
