EDIT: Why not do the same as mainspace articles? Example: this If you're talking about other audio players, that page has none and the point of the YTPlayer is to use YouTube's audio player, so the user doesn't need to download the song (illegally, more than likely) and upload it to the wiki. If their computer has bad download speed, or is low on storage, the YTPlayer is just convenient. Nope, not this time. Unlike the "YTPlayer" before (which used to work on our wiki's app), sometime after the half of 2015, Wikia made some "security measures" that disabled a certain "Mediapage redirect" function that the previous "version" of YTPlayer need, which made it "broken" until the early 2016 where someone eventually revived it that uses the dev wiki JavaScript source, consequently making it not work on our's wiki app since the wiki's app doesn't even support JavaScript. Hence, it's just better off like "that" since it's the best way to provide some audio to the users.

TL;DR, Wikia disabled a certain function to makes previous version of YTPlayer work on our wiki's app and due to alternative usage of its current version using Javascript and the fact that our wiki's app doesn't even support JS, it's just better to use the default audio player that wikis have.
