Should the namespace be File or Media
As noted at w:c:central:Forum:Listen template? the namespace prefix Media: seems to be necessary to trigger the OGG player. Using the prefix File: simply leave a link to the uploaded file's wiki page in the File: namespace.

 * Nope. The sample here is right. If the ogg player is actually enabled a the wiki [[File:/[[Image: trigger the on page player. The [[Media: is ALWAYS a special hook to provide immediate link to the full url (which may or may not) lead to the browser attempting to 'play' that URL. --[[User:Uberfuzzy|Uberfuzzy]] 12:45, December 3, 2009 (UTC)

Ogg Creating and Question
I want to make ogg files for those who can't read the stuff on one of my wikias. But I don't know how to make one. I don't have an MP3, all I have is internet explorer. What are the steps and conditions I need to know to be able to upload one that isn't my voice? And my question was, is it possible to do this for a signature. Because I always want to upgrade my signature. So I was planning of putting an ogg file in there containing misterious inf that you have to listen to see. Well... I just want to know if I can do it. --The Declaration of Independence. When you bring it into the sun, it gets destroyed. Really. 03:33, August 26, 2011 (UTC)

Converting
I converted an MP3 to OGG through an online converter but now it won't let me upload it. It says .ogx files are not supported while my file is .ogg. What do I have to do? DimitrisLoveIvi (talk) 18:19, October 25, 2013 (UTC)
 * That happens to me too, even though it worked when I uploaded the version from the game files it worked perfectly, but the OST version just f***s up my computerDrMarioFan1001 (talk) 07:44, June 18, 2016 (UTC)
 * Because a file ends with  doesn't mean it's actually OGG. Try using a different converter --  Cube - shaped   garbage can  08:31, June 18, 2016 (UTC)
 * I use Adobe Audition CC. Works all the rest of the time, must not like oggs. Well that's s***.

This won't work
I used the OGG vorbis format, but nothing works. I used it here http://lionheartking.wikia.com/wiki/User:Theundeadlord. Is there anything i can do? --OnePiece (talk) 18:44, January 24, 2016 (UTC)

 * Yes, they have not yet added audio, or video, support to the UCP.
 * They should stop forcing the unfinished UCP on wikis who use OGG and OGV files.

 * It looks like Spotify is working on UCP, but I don;t believe Soundcloud is yet (or I'm just doing something wrong. Dave247 (talk) 21:20, October 5, 2020 (UTC)

Spotify Alignment
In case anyone else comes by wondering how to align the Spotify to a section of the page, take a look at the post I made on the Discussion forums asking and received an answer about it. Dave247 (talk) 04:14, 16 July 2021 (UTC)

disabling MP3s would not dissuade copyright infringement
They would just convert the file type to OGG. Anyway, since OGG isn't supported on apple devices, and MP3s apparently are only used for piracy, is there a technical or legal reason why AACs aren't an option? /gen
