Q: 

Could paperclip handle non-image files?

I am using Ruby on Rails 2.3.5

I want to let the user upload files, not only images, but also music files or just txt documents.

Could I use paperclip for this purpose (I will store those files in Amazon S3)? Is there any special things I have to note about?

Or if the paperclip gem could not handle them, what could I use?

A: 

Paperclip does all you asked. I also used to upload mp3 files with paperclip to rackspace cloud. Never had any sort of problems.

Thanks for your answer! How's the thumbnail function? Could I assign a thumbnail to it or it just useless in this case?
