Ie 9 Has Trouble Loading Html5 Audio From Tomcat

My HTML5 audio player, when running inside of IE9, has trouble playing audio files located on a server running Apache Tomcat. For example, it'll never load the file at this path: h

Solution 1:

Tomcat by default specifies for a .mp3 extension the MIME type audio/x-mpeg.Changing this default to audio/mpeg solves the issue.In other words IE9 is NOT comfortable with audio/x-mpeg but accepts audio/mpeg as MIME type of a resource for an tag.
