Media files on Wikipaedia
Some Wikipaedia airticles include
soond
or
video
files, which can be played on almaist aw personal computers. However, yer computer must hae the richt saftware. If yer computer daes nae automatically play these files when you click on them, dounloadin an installin free saftware frae the internet can enable it tae do so.
Soond files on Wikipaedia generally uise the
Vorbis
audio format, an video files uise the
Theora
format, baith contained in an
Ogg
file. These are analogous tae ither formats uised tae play deegital audio an video such as
MP3
an
MPEG
. However,
Microsoft Windows
,
iOS
, an
OS X
dae nae support these formats bi default, an require addeetional saftware tae play them (see ablo).
Music files mey occasionally uise the
MIDI
format (.MID or .MIDI extension). MIDI is generally playable wioot addeetional saftware, as maist computers hae a MIDI-enabled player an soond caird.
