I'm trying to decide which mime type to choose for returning mp3 data (served up by php)

according to this listing of mime types: http://www.webmaster-toolkit.com/mime-types.shtml

.mp3    audio/mpeg3
.mp3    audio/x-mpeg-3
.mp3    video/mpeg
.mp3    video/x-mpeg

What are the difference between these, and which should I use?

Your best bet would be using the RFC defined mime-type audio/mpeg.
