That's a bad snippet, but their site's login seems broken. I would avoid using wildcard MIME types for specific files like this. For example, there might be an audio player that only handles OGG, not MP3 -- the ACTION_VIEW shown here would still offer that OGG-only player as an option, which would then break.
For selection Intents, like an ACTION_GET_CONTENT, wildcard MIME types are fine, AFAIK. But for cases like this, I would use the fully qualified MIME type, sans wildcard.
