Why can't we upload .mp3 files to the file dump?

I agree that it's pretty damn retarded, but all you have to do to compensate is to put it in a .zip file and you'll have the freedom to upload whatever file extension you could ever think of.

because then people would probably dump a lot of pirated music and NG would probably get sued.
but then again they allow zip uploads which sorta defeats the purpose of this
i dunno!

It may actually have something to do with hotlinking... but there are ways to disable that, so again, I dunno. We let users upload .zip files that can have anything in them, but we're going to disable a bunch of random file extensions anyway! LOGIC!
