I am not sure exactly where you are asking here, but if you are asking why
a URL ending in .mp3 in the path isn't an mp3, that's pretty simple. A URL
is just a locator, and doesn't actually say anything about the file type.
The file type is sent in the response header as a mime-type. So, you could
serve all your html pages as .mp3 urls if you wanted to do so. All it
takes is a resolution of the URL that provides the right content.
