For example the Air_raid_alarm_in_China.ogg post below have a "File usage on wikis" list. Are their any other extension support such function?

Currently we are using Extension:FlashMP3. This extension will not show which page used the file which made usage track difficult.

So the string is "File usage on other wikis" instead and that comes from Extension:GlobalUsage - should be unrelated to some player extension.

It's supported by any proper media handling extension. Basically, if the extension you use includes the image on a page by doing code like [[File:Foo.mp3|...]], then it will work. FlashMP3 is using <flashmp3> syntax, which is not the proper way for including media files, and hence the usage tracking doesn't work.

Extensions that do do it properly are:

• extension:TimedMediaHandler (Its possible to make it play mp3's, but requires some configuration tweaking as that's not the default)
• Extension:Mp3Handler
• Probably quite a few others (but not all) in Category:Audio player extensions

As a clarifying note, "File usage on other wikis" comes from GlobalUsage, but the plain "File usage" section is built in to core and you don't need any extensions for that.

Awesome! Thank you both!

Question: How can I enable MP3 support for Extension:TimedMediaHandler?
