Actually, that's not at all essential. You can have any file you wish 
"magically" turn into (apparently) an iTunes MP3 file by changing its 
type to "MPG3" and creator to "hook". It will have the right icon, and 
iTunes will launch when the file is double-clicked. Of course, it won't 
do anything, because the file hasn't been converted to the MP3 format 
-- in fact, the file hasn't been modified, only the metadata has. I 
suggest reading a recent post on this list to understand the issue of 
linking files to applications.
