Prior to this update, the file utility treated MP3 files as text files, and therefore was unable to recognize the MP3 files. This undesired behavior has been fixed in this update, and the file utility now treats the MP3 files as binary files and is able to properly recognize them.

Hello, Prior to file-5.0.4 version it was possible to determine mime 'mp3' format using "file -i" command. But after patch that has been added in #594083 it is not possible to do. How reproducible: Just try to determine mime type via '-i' key. Steps to Reproduce: > file -ib mp3_file Actual results: application/octet-stream; charset=binary Expected results: audio/mpeg; charset=binary
