App Q&A testing by request.
PROBLEM: Some of my media files (mp3, mp4, FLAC) are showing up as "folder" file type in the finder.
IT's not all of them.. like say an album of 10 files, 1 or 2 are showing as Folder. They open fine. Get Info shows everything fine. but if I do a search and filter on music, they wouldn't show up, but would if folder.

There seems to be no rhyme or reason as to why this is happening. Sometimes If I double click to open it, it'll open in the right app and the file type in finder will change... but sometimes not.

TRIED: Restarts;ran onyx to clean various caches and launch services etc, but so far, no good.

Anyone suggest some other things to try?
