Help:Audio

You can include audio on your community via few different methods, including SoundCloud and Spotify widgets.

SoundCloud


To embed a SoundCloud player, simply copy the URL of the page, then insert it in the following code:



This will generate a player like the following:


 * 

If you're embedding a single song, you'll want to make use of the height parameter to reduce the height of the player:



This will generate a player like the following:


 * 

Other useful parameters are listed on SoundCloud's documentation.

Spotify


To embed a Spotify player, right-click any song, artist, album or playlist in the Spotify player and select "Copy Spotify URI".

Replace the URI with your copied one in the following code:



This will generate a player like the following:


 * 

We support the theme, view, width and height parameters, as detailed in Spotify's documentation. For example:



This will generate a player like the following:

Note that Spotify itself is not available in all countries - you can see which countries Spotify supports on Wikipedia.

Audio files
You can upload audio files to Wikia if they're in a supported format such as OGG. Embedding audio is similar to adding a photo:


 * Go to Special:Upload on your wikia.
 * Upload your supported audio file, and make a note of the file name.
 * Open an article for editing.
 * Enter the following wikitext to embed your audio file (replacing "example" with whatever your filename is):
 * Save your article. It should display an audio player as seen here :
 * [[File:ExampleOGGfromWikipedia.ogg‎]]
 * [[File:ExampleOGGfromWikipedia.ogg‎]]

File type support
For audio files, we strongly support the open-source format (OGG), which does not require proprietary software to record or play. You can embed and play OGG files directly from any page by adding a link to the file like this:
 * OGG (supported)

There are many OGG converters available on the web to convert files into a Wikia-compatible format: see

Because MP3 is not a free/open-source format, the MediaWiki software cannot provide an integrated player for MP3 files, and we do not support the format by default.
 * MP3 (not supported)

There are many other formats for audio files that Wikia does not support by default. If your community has a strong need for audio in formats other than OGG, please feel free contact Wikia to discuss your situation further.
 * Other formats
