Help:Audio
this wiki
You can include audio on your community via a few different methods, including SoundCloud and Spotify.
SoundCloud
Edit
A SoundCloud player
To embed a SoundCloud player, simply copy the URL of the page, then use the following code:
<soundcloud url="https://soundcloud.com/destructoid/sets/the-legend-of-zelda-twilight" />
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:
<soundcloud url="https://soundcloud.com/hype-artists/hyp061-01-the-birds-of-the" height="166" />
This will generate a player like the following:
Other useful parameters are listed on SoundCloud's documentation.
Spotify
Edit
A Spotify player
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:
<spotify uri="spotify:artist:5JkgywsS3vj9XiIPkLRbyk" />
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:
<spotify uri="spotify:track:0mlWZB9nx3D3aERgf7UHwj" theme="white" />
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
Edit
You can upload audio files to FANDOM if they're in a supported format such as OGG. Embedding audio is similar to adding a photo:
- Go to Special:Upload on your community.
- 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):
[[File:Example.ogg]]
- Save your article. It should display an audio player as seen here (example from Wikipedia):
File type support
Edit
- OGG (supported)
For audio files, we strongly support the open-source format Ogg Vorbis (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: [[File:Name.ogg]]
There are many OGG converters available on the web to convert files into a FANDOM-compatible format: see http://www.google.com/search?q=ogg+converter
- MP3 (not supported)
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.
- Other formats
There are many other formats for audio files that FANDOM does not support by default. If your community has a strong need for audio in formats other than OGG, please feel free contact FANDOM to discuss your situation further.
