Bug Description

I reported a bug and when I uploaded an audio/x-musepack file as attachment it was detected as chemical/x-mopac-input MIME type. I checked the MIME type locally and the MIME type is audio/x-musepack . The name of the file is "08 - Seven Faces.mpc" . You can see the error in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rhythmbox/+bug/203470 (the fourth and the five comments).
Thanks a lot.
Salut!

I hit this, or something like it: if you attach a file through the API and you don't specify the mime type, it gets set to chemical/x-mopac-input, which I would guess is alphabetically first.

It would be more reasonable to use application/binary.

This reproduces it:

bug.addAttachment(comment='comment', data='attachment data', description='description',
filename='attachment.dat')
