===Application software=== {{See also|Use of Ogg formats in HTML5}} Software supporting Vorbis exists for many platforms. The multi-platform open-source [[VLC media player]] and [[MPlayer]] can play Ogg Vorbis files, as can [[Winamp]] and [[foobar2000]]. [[Windows Media Player]] does not natively support Vorbis; however, [[DirectShow]] filters exist to decode Vorbis in Windows Media Player and other Windows multimedia players that support DirectShow.<ref name=illiminable>{{cite web |url=http://www.xiph.org/dshow/ |title=illiminable Ogg Directshow Filters for Speex, Vorbis, Theora and FLAC |access-date=2008-06-24}}</ref> Vorbis is also supported in the multi-platform audio editing software [[Audacity (audio editor)|Audacity]], in the multi-platform [[multimedia framework]]s [[FFmpeg]], [[GStreamer]] and [[Helix (project)|Helix DNA]]. Vorbis is well-supported on the [[Linux]] platform in programs like [[XMMS]], [[xine]], [[Amarok (software)|Amarok]]. A list of Vorbis-supporting software can be found at the Xiph.Org Foundation wiki and Vorbis.com website.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://wiki.xiph.org/index.php/VorbisSoftwarePlayers |title=VorbisSoftwarePlayers - XiphWiki |access-date=2008-01-13 |work=Xiph.Org Foundation}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.vorbis.com/software/ |title=Vorbis.com: 3rd party software |access-date=2009-10-12 |author=Xiph.Org Foundation |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091016094206/http://www.vorbis.com/software/ |archive-date=2009-10-16 |url-status=dead }}</ref> Users can test these programs using the list of Vorbis audio streams available on the same wiki.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://wiki.xiph.org/index.php/VorbisStreams |title=VorbisStreams - XiphWiki |access-date=2008-01-13 |work=Xiph.Org Foundation}}</ref> For more information about support in software media players there is a [[Comparison of audio player software#Audio format ability|comparison of media players]] available. {{anchor|sb0}} Some newer [[Ubisoft]] games use Vorbis files renamed with the [[filename extension]] {{Not a typo|.sb0}}. It can therefore be played using a compatible player, although sometimes one must force a different [[sampling rate]] to hear it correctly. A number of tools are available for extracting sound from [[file archiver|archived files]] such as the .m4b of ''[[Myst IV: Revelation]]''.
