Media files on the GSD
Some 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 here 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 this wiki in a browser this software is integrated by default.
Music files may occasionally use the MIDI format (.MID or .MIDI extension). The GSD wiki 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.
For help making and converting video and audio into the format usable on the GSD wiki, see GSD:Creation and usage of media files.
