Forum:Uploading sample Music to a wiki

I'm trying to upload some sample music to the Fire Emblem Wiki, I've seen from the pikmin wiki it can be done, but how exactly, I can't find an upload form anywhere.

 * Upload media at Special:Upload. I think Wikia currently only supports .ogg format though. If you're thinking about uploading songs, you might want to consider contacting Wikia staff and asking for the OggHandler extension.--Richardtalk 17:39, 3 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Permitted file types: png, gif, jpg, jpeg, ico, ogg, pdf, xcf, svg, mid, jl, odt, ods, odp, odg, odc, odf, odi, odm.
 * Ogg and Mid (midi). — TulipVorlax 21:07, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

I've never seen those formats before, is there an easy way to convert to it?

 * Ogg is similar to MP3, look at Ogg Vorbis.
 * Mid is more like what svg are to images. It's doesn't really contain the sound. There's a lot of free mid over the internet... — TulipVorlax 00:21, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
 * For ogg, just download Audacity. You can convert .mp3 and .wav files to .ogg with it, and its free.--Richardtalk 18:17, 4 July 2009 (UTC)


 * I prefer CDex wich has a batch convert... — TulipVorlax 19:11, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

We do actually now have a working mp3 player. The only issue is that its designed to stream play urls, not uploaded files. Its meant to be used on things like podcasts or other externally hosted files. Its not a very "easy" solution, as it requires setting up a whitelist of hosts it can play from. --Uberfuzzy 20:42, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
