Well, it's a question of what "type" means. If you run this:
choose file with prompt "Pick a file" of type {"public.mp3"}
A few months back I posted a way to determine what those types are.
If you select the kind of file you're interested in (frontmost Finder window) then run this.
tell application "Finder"
set a_file to selection as alias
set UTI to type identifier of (get info for a_file)
end tell
and use the result you get in your type list, you'll be able to do what you want.
