Human readable file type?

Hi there,

I need to display a human readable filetype, similar to how the "Show Info" of the Finder does (e.g. "MP3 Audio File").

I have not been able to figure out where this is stored, other than use NSWorkspace's getInfoForFile and then look in the Info.plist of the application which opens the file (to read the CFBundleTypeName property), but this is really hacky (and I'm not sure Info.plist is the only place that the supported filetypes of an app can be stored).
