Comment (by anevilyak):
It's not quite that simple, the problem is Tracker just relies on the mime
sniffer updating the BEOS:MIME attribute on the file, it doesn't sniff it
out as it goes. Since other filesystems (i.e. NTFS) won't have that
attribute, it won't be able to read the type from it that way. iirc on R5
the built-in NTFS driver was hardcoded to present a fake mime attribute
for specific file extensions (i.e. .mp3) for Tracker to work with.
