Comment (by Cigaes):

 The core issue is that MP3 is a shitty format, and there is no way of
 detecting it reliably without either ① making a boatload of false
 positives or ② making the probing process much much slower.

 So my advice is: name your MP3 files {{{.mp3}}} rather than {{{.jpg}}},
 because that is asking for trouble, and when you ask for trouble you find
 it.
