No app claims MPEG-2 AAC as a file type so it will always have a generic icon. If your app is going to create them then perhaps it should supply an icon for them.

.aac is what you'd likely find out in the wild for those (very rare) players which support MPEG-2 AAC

.mp2 is the de-facto file extension for MPEG-1, Layer 2 audio files so don't use that.

Hi James,

What file type extension should I use for the file? Using .aac has a generic icon in the Finder. Should I use .mp2?

An important note here is that AudioFile supports AAC in ADTS files, not mp4a files.
mp4a is basically Quicktime.
