From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hello all. I did my Ph.D. in experimental quantum optics and quantum information at the University of Toronto under the supervision of Dr. Aephraim Steinberg. I did a post-doc in Ian Walmsley's group at the University of Oxford in quantum optics and quantum information in integrated optical circuits. Following that, I worked in standards and metrology at the National Research Council Canada. I am now an Associate Professor in Physics at the University of Ottawa.

Digital audio support

Wikipedia uses the Ogg Vorbis, FLAC and WAV formats for audio, as they are not encumbered by patents (an issue that prompted the decision that MP3 files will not be hosted at Wikipedia). Software supporting Vorbis exists for many platforms...

Mozilla Firefox 4, Opera 10.5 and Google Chrome 3 (and later versions) each include their own support for Ogg Vorbis files.

As for multimedia players, Winamp can be used to play Ogg Vorbis files. Although iTunes does not natively support Vorbis, Xiph.Org provides a QuickTime component which can be used in players that rely on QuickTime, such as iTunes, on both Microsoft Windows and Mac OS. DirectShow filters exist to decode Vorbis in multimedia players like Windows Media Player and others which support DirectShow.

Various online tools (such as Zamzar) are available which let you freely convert one file format into another, and can be useful when you want to upload a file to Wikipedia.
