I have been using Linux since 1993. I installed the first version of Slackware on a 16MB 386sx-25. Since then I have been using it almost exclusively on one or more of my PCs. So I consider myself as a bit of an expert. I have been using computers since 1982 mostly PCs, but also VAX mainframes and SPARC systems. Operating systems (and GUIs) I have been using include CP/M, DOS, Windows from Version 2 to XP, Geos, Beos, SCO Unix, Solaris, OS/2 and quite a few Linux Distros.

Putting .mp3 on the end enables the song to play by double clicking in Konqueror. It is a NOT the way it has always been done, but it is a simple improvement to make things easier for the people who will be migrating from Windows.
simple improvement? this is a terrible windows-ification. you can't even call it ugly hack, it's just... shit.
WHO DID THAT? Was it the Mandrake folks or is Konqueror too stupid to do some decent MIME sniffing?
I though there would be just one (very popular even though it is insecure and unstable) operating system in the world whose developers are stupid enough to determine the file type and associated action by a particular string in the file name. Never mind. I know why i'm not using Mandrake or KDE any more.
