I added the gallery of 30 ogg files that I found on Wikimedia Commons. You might instead prefer a link out to a review of Bergman's 1977 film that is under construction in Wikiversity at v:Movie Reviews/The Magic Flute. I might add that this collection from Commons has value even though one can always find a rendition of this opera for free on the internet: Unlike YouTube or other online sites, this version is guaranteed to be stable and free of advertisements. Also, my German is Nicht gut, and I was constrained to use short titles. You might want to edit that.-- Guy vandegrift ( talk) 21:42, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
As for the English translations: I strongly suggest to retain the original German incipits – they are universally much better recognized. Further, it would be helpful if we could align the numerals (currently 1–30) of the sound files to the numbering in the score (Overture, 1–21). Maybe the sound files could be joined in a table with the current list "Musical numbers". I will try that within the next few days. -- Michael Bednarek ( talk) 00:41, 10 March 2024 (UTC)

is its lack of player controls – it only does "Stop" and "Restart from beginning", no "Continue". The thumbnail presentation only offers "Start", "Pause", "Continue" (no "Restart from the beginning"), but the template {{
Listen}} offers "Start", "Pause", "Continue", and a slider to position the playback forward or backward, and it shows the track's duration; it does not allow to change the width of the playback bar. On balance, I think that's what I would like to implement. You can see this method at

... or maybe sans numerals like this:
Introduction: "Zu Hilfe! Zu Hilfe! Sonst bin ich verloren" – Tamino, Three Ladies
Aria: "Der Vogelfänger bin ich ja" (The birdcatcher am I) – Papageno
Since I am almost finished in User:Guy vandegrift/sandbox/sandbox, that is what I will put on Wikiversity-- Guy vandegrift ( talk) 07:55, 11 March 2024 (UTC)

takes the reader to the file on Commons. But that takes us back to the behaviour of that template before the introduction the
Phonos MediaWiki extension a few months ago and defeats the feature of playing audio inline without leaving the article. As I wrote before, on balance the template {{Listen}}
works better here, with some penalties in the bulkiness department. --
