==Media files on Wikipedia==
Some Wikipedia articles include '''sound''' or '''video''' files, that can be played on almost all personal computers. However, your computer must have the right software. If your computer does not automatically play these files when you click on them, downloading and installing free software from the Internet can enable it to do so.

Sound files on Wikipedia generally use the [[Vorbis]] or [[MP3]] audio format, and video files use the [[VP9]] or [[Theora]] format, both contained in either [[WebM]] or [[Ogg]] files. However, [[Microsoft Windows]], [[iOS]], and older [[macOS]] do not support these formats by default, and depend on software to play the files. When you use Wikipedia in a browser this software is integrated by default.

Music files may occasionally use the [[Musical Instrument Digital Interface#MIDI file formats|MIDI]] format (.MID or .MIDI extension). Wikipedia can play a MIDI file by converting it to digital audio, or depending on how the MIDI file is linked it may rely on your computer's browser and hardware to play the MIDI file.<br/><br/>
