hyperlink - What is "mt=8" in iTunes links for the appstore? - Stack Overflow. From that link:

Apple designates a number of different Media Types (mt values):

1 Music
2 Podcasts
3 Audiobooks
4 TV Shows
5 Music Videos
6 Movies
7 iPod Games
8 Mobile Software Applications
9 Ringtones
10 iTunes U
11 E-Books
12 Desktop Apps

So, to answer your question, the "mt=8" in iTunes links simply identifies it as being of type 'Mobile Software Applications'.

For the commenter above, in case you haven't figured out, ls=1 means the URL will try and open iTunes and follow the link. If ls=1 is not included it will simply load the web page for that particular media asset.
