==Supported platforms== Officially, Monkey's Audio is available for the [[Microsoft Windows]] platform. As of version 4.02 (19 January 2009) a [[DirectShow]] filter is distributed with the installer, allowing for compatibility with most media players running on the Windows operating system.<ref name="ver"/> Monkey's Audio is also supported on Linux and OS X using [[JRiver Media Center]] or [[Plex (software)|Plex]]. A GPL-licensed version of the Monkey's Audio decoder has been independently written for Rockbox and is included in [[FFmpeg]].<ref name="ubuntu">{{cite web |first=Michael |last=Sebastian |date=2007-06-25 |title=Ubuntu bug entry about Monkey's audio inclusion (Comment 2) |url=https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/119412/comments/2 |access-date=2022-10-08}}</ref><ref name="ffmpeg">{{cite web |url=https://ffmpeg.org/releases/ffmpeg-0.5.changelog |title=FFmpeg 0.5 changelog |date=2009 |website=FFmpeg |access-date=2022-10-08}} </ref> This code also provides playback support in applications that use [[GStreamer]],<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/modules/gst-monkeysaudio.html |title=GStreamer Monkey's Audio Plug-in |access-date=2022-10-08 |website=GStreamer}}</ref> as well as [[DeaDBeeF]]. A number of {{nowrap|Mac OS X}} players and rippers support the format as well.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.pure-mac.com/audio.html |title=Audio - Software for Mac |publisher=Pure Mac |access-date=2022-10-08}}</ref> It is also available as a port and package on [[FreeBSD]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.freshports.org/audio/mac/ |title=FreshPorts -- audio/mac: Monkey's Audio lossless codec |website=FreshPorts |access-date=2022-10-08}}</ref> Monkey's Audio files can be encoded and decoded on any platform which has a [[Java Platform, Standard Edition|J2SE]] implementation, by the means of the unofficial [http://jmac.sourceforge.net/ JMAC library], which is [[free software]] licensed under the [[GNU Lesser General Public License|GNU LGPL]]. ===Hardware support=== Monkey's Audio is supported natively on all modern [[Cowon]] multimedia media players, the [[FiiO X Series]] and some [[Cayin]] digital audio players. On other hardware platforms, the open source firmware project [[Rockbox]] supports playback of Monkey's Audio files on most of its supported targets, but many lack sufficient processing power to play them on the higher compression settings.<ref name=rockbox/>
