Rails - Jan 2008 - Controlling content_type in attachment_fu

I''m working on an app where a model can have different kinds of audio
attachments, in this case mp3 and m4a files.  I want to distiguish
between them by content type.  So I want mp3 files to have a content
type of audio/mpeg and m4a files a content type of audio/mp4, at first
I tried this:

class AudioFile < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_attachment  :storage => :file_system,
  :max_size => 10.megabytes,
  :processor => :none

  def self.create_mp3!(attributes)
      create!(attributes.merge(:content_type => "audio/mpeg"))
  end

  def self.create_mp3!(attributes)
      create!(attributes.merge(:content_type => "audio/mpeg"))
  end
end

where the attributes coming from a form included an uploaded_data value.

This DIDN''T work, the content type was ignored,  I eventually tracked
this down to attachment_fu setting the content type from content_type
returned by the UploadedTempFile value of uploaded data which was
returning nil.

So right now, I''ve got this:

module MP3File
  def content_type
    ''audio/mpeg''
  end
end

module AACFile
  def content_type
    ''audio/mp4''
  end
end

def self.create_mp3!(attributes)
  attributes[:uploaded_data].extend MP3File
  create!(attributes.merge(:content_type => ''audio/mpeg''))
end

def self.create_aac!(attributes)
  attributes[:uploaded_data].extend AACFile
  create!(attributes.merge(:content_type => ''audio/mp4''))
end

Which ''duck punches'' the UploadedTempFile to return the right
value.

But this feels to me somehow wrong.  Am I missing something in attachment_fu?
