[Flac-dev] OS X UTI for FLAC files

Wed, 21 Feb 2007 16:59:44 -0800

I think it would be beneficial to designate an official UTI (see http://developer.apple.com/macosx/uniformtypeidentifiers.html) to be used on OS X for FLAC files. I have written a FLAC metadata importer (http://sbooth.org/importers/) for which I chose the UTI 'net.sourceforge.flac'. A standard UTI for application developers to use would help alleviate any confusion and could also eliminate potential sources of conflict in the UTI hierarchy. For example, I have seen org.xiph.flac used.
Unfortunately I don't have any information on FLAC support in Leopard, but if FLAC is indeed supported natively by OS X it could be that Apple has already assigned a UTI to FLAC. 


I think the ideal UTI would be public.flac-audio, which would inherit  
from public.audio.  Does anyone else have any thoughts?
