  No, there is no problem with that.

  (The only reason I included the file in the distribution was to solve
 the problem where some distributions had very old mime.type files,
 looks like mine is now out of date!)

  Great.

  For people following at home, using the CVS version, there is
 a new configuration file /etc/gnump3d/file.types which is used to
 specify which suffixes are audio/playlists/movies.

  That will be included in the next release.

  Perhaps the mime-type which is being served is the "old" ape one,
 instead of the converted one which should be sent - since you're now
 serving .mp3 files instead of the ape ones.

  If you could do a "wget", or something similar to see if you're
 getting the correct mime.type file served that might help.

  If that is the problem adjusting the mime.type file to have
 audio/mp3/whatever for .ape files would do the job I'd guess.
