:Okay, after much research I've come to the conclusion that we could either ask for an extension to be installed ([http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:OggHandler example], [http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Mp3 example]), or have something like:

:More research: the first extension example I gave is the one used on Wikipedia.  I will ask on Wikia about having extensions installed.

Where did I suggest putting them all on one page?  There, I just put an external image (which we would upload, of course) and then the link to the media file.{{User:Greenpickle/sig}}
 
Ah, I was using the sound effects as an example of how sound files could be implemented to improve the quality of articles, I wasn't sure if you were doing music or sfx. any way. {{User:Me_just_in/sig}}01:03, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
 
:''Also, what sort of page were you thinking of having? What would make it encyclopedic and not a load of music files?''
 
::Seems I misunderstood you, but that "page" is a bit confusing to me. And, Me just in: That was my plan from the beginning. I'll see if I have the nerve to record only the sounds. You'd have to admit, though: the sound of a Pikmin gurgling to its death just isn't quite as nice as the melody from the Wistful Wild.--{{User:Prezintenden/sig}}

For some reason, my computer does not like .ogg files, is there a special program you need to listen to them? {{User:Me_just_in/sig}}21:02, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
 
:Alright, drowning Pikmin ''do'' have certain pleasurable rhythm.
 
:Äh, standard windows media can not play Ogg Vorbis files (don't ask me about macs). You might be able to download an add-on for the media player, but the easiest way would be to download an audio editor which can play all files.--{{User:Prezintenden/sig}}
 
Alright, thanks for that. {{User:Me_just_in/sig}} 11:29, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
 
For me, ffdshow (a codec/filter pack) allows OGG files to be played.  Otherwise, Haali media splitter allows them to be played, or Media Player Classic (a far better player than WMP) or VLC player (requires install, larger filesize than MPC) can play them anyway.{{User:Greenpickle/sig}}
 
:Please test it '''[http://fp007.sjc.wikia-inc.com/wiki/User:Ppiotr/ogg here]'''. If it seems ok, we can install it on this wiki. [[User:Angela|Angela]]<staff /> ([[User talk:Angela|talk]]) 01:37, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
 
::PLease test again. We think the problems with the java player are now fixed. [[User:Angela|Angela]]<staff /> ([[User talk:Angela|talk]]) 04:01, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
 
:::You realise it's been installed!?  Yay.{{User:Greenpickle/sig}}
 
::::I was just coming to tell you that! You beat me to it. :) [[User:Angela|Angela]]<staff /> ([[User talk:Angela|talk]]) 07:14, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
 
How do you add audio- wait, I don't have a microphone. And where's what installed?[[User:Pikdude|<span style="color:blue">Pik</span>]][[User talk:Pikdude|<span style="color:green">dude</span>]][[Image:Yoshi's Crunch.jpg|30px]] 12:29, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
 
[[File:Hazard Training.ogg]]
 
:Whew. Now I just have to get the quality right, but most files should be rather enjoyable. Oh, and Pikdude, this is the music that is played in the game, just in case you were thinking about chats or so.--{{User:Prezintenden/sig}}
 
You need a microphone to record then put here audio files, right? And are there any more audio files? If so, please give me a link.[[User:Pikdude|<span style="color:blue">Pik</span>]][[User talk:Pikdude|<span style="color:green">dude</span>]][[Image:Yoshi's Crunch.jpg|30px]] 23:34, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
 
I hook up my TV with the computer via audio cable. I'd love to simply connect the audio plug from the Gamecube with the microphone input, but it I can't find a required converter, should that type even exist. At the moment we only have two, but I have a great portion ready to upload. I can't give you a link where all files are listed, but we'll see if we need one.--{{User:Prezintenden/sig}}
 
Where is the other one?[[User:Pikdude|<span style="color:blue">Pik</span>]][[User talk:Pikdude|<span style="color:green">dude</span>]][[Image:Yoshi's Crunch.jpg|30px]] 23:21, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
 
:Your kinda stubborn about this, hm? Well, I uploaded new ones, and since you are so intersted, here they are: [[Wistful Wild]], [[Perplexing Pool]], [[Hazard Training]] and [[White Flower Garden#Sublevel 2]]. You can also search them [[Special:Uncategorizedimages|here]]. Their picture is a speaker ([[Amplified Amplifier|a little ironic]]).
 
::There's a list that'll always have all OGGs at [[:Category:Audio]].  That is, if we add the copyright notice.{{User:Greenpickle/sig}}
----
 
Is that music found only in that Challenge Mode level?  And we need to decide whether to place them on pages, since so many are the same, or just have a music page.  Or maybe both?  And I'll create an audio copyright thing, using what I copied above a while back.{{User:Greenpickle/sig}}
 
:Oh, not at all. All the cave music is usually repeated on some other level. I just don't have a ''single'' clue which ones those are, and I do not wish to guess. I remember the more notible and interesting ones, of course. I have the track of a few complete caves, but most have bad quality. Recording from my TV results in a awkward humming if not done right... It took me a few tries until I had it right. How I wish creating ISOs and ROMs would be simple and legal.
 
:I disagree with the "one page" thing. Listing them all seems odd, and doesn't give you that real connection to the level that you have on the articles, where there are descriptions and images. If I look back, then there's this:
 
:''Also, what sort of page were you thinking of having?  What would make it encyclopedic and not a load of music files?''
 
::''I never intended to put them all on one page; what use would that be?''
 
:Can I take that as an agreement?--{{User:Prezintenden/sig}}
 
::Yeah, okay.  It makes sense.  I just thought having it at Hazard Training and calling it the Hazard Training music might give the idea it's unique; maybe it would be better to have unique music (overground music and things like Titan Dweevil, Giant Breadbug, etc.) on appropriate pages, and have the many caves ones on [[Cave]] or spread over the cave articles.{{User:Greenpickle/sig}}
 
:::Yeah, like I said, I'll add ones that are noticed most. I don't really care if we have a separate page aswell, so you'll have to decide. It's not much work, but I don't see much sense... Yes, or no?--{{User:Prezintenden/sig}}
 
::::Yeah, we're fine without.  Is there any point in explaining anywhere that music varies when enemies are nearby/when near Burgeoning Spiderworts/from Captain to Captain?{{User:Greenpickle/sig}}
 
:::::Huh, I don't really think so. I think it eneough just to give a feeling for the music. Long explanations seem odd to me.--{{User:Prezintenden/sig}}
 
::::::Okay.{{User:Greenpickle/sig}}
