choose file with prompt the result of type typeList

If typeList is an empty list, I can choose the files I want, but I
can also choose any type of file.
If typeList contains any item, then the choose file dialog does
not allow me to choose anything.
What I want is a correct response for the typeList = {"aif",
"aiff", "mp3", "wav"}.
Is there a bug here that I should know about?
A filename extension isn't quite the same as file type or type
identifier, Luther. Try either one or the other:
choose file of type {"AIFF", "MPG3"} without invisibles
choose file of type {"public.aifc-audio", "public.mp3",
"com.microsoft.waveform-audio"} without invisibles
If you really meant specifically AIFF, MPG3, M4A, or WAVE, then kai's
solution is correct. However, if you merely wanted some kind of
audio file (i.e., something QuickTime Player could open), then using
the generic type "public.audio" would be more appropriate. You can
find a list of system-defined types at <http://developer.apple.com/
