Opera Can Play MP3s!


Recommended Posts

Did you know that you can play a music file(mp3) inside Opera?

Well,..I didn't until now.

I found some Music buttons for the experimental MP3 player, on Rijk's page, and I'm using them since, to play music during browsing.

> Add mp3

You don't have to launch another application,like winamp or iTunes, (which consumes memory to) to play music.

The only disadvantage is that you can't add more than one track, only when the first ends. So, no playlist.

So,My wish would be to include a kind of..playlist building feature in Opera.

After all, why is this browser called Opera for?;) if not for the music?

Awesome... a browser can play a MP3 file one by one...

How it's "useful"?

Edit: :rofl:

Opera plays the selected file using Windows Mediaplayer.

extension for FF please ? :(
Get Foxytune, it's a Player controller... it can control almost any player, your favorite must be here.

It's a better idea than load WMP dll in a browser IMO...

Ok I take the door ----> [][]

They play a whole bunch of things via pre-installed plugins.

I remember at Opera version 6 i was able to play these types of formats inside the browser

mp3, mov, wmv etc...

It's apparently just calling WMP, so it's not really Opera doing it, and it's not new either.

Opera can play video's though (<video> tag in by the WHAT-WG), i generally find some of the stuff useless (and when i said as such, i had the spec writer (a google employee) comment on my blog :p ), but some of the creations are very, very cool (e.g. <canvas>, with the right implementation you can have 3D within the webpage)

This is fairly pointless IMHO. What next, an image editor for your browser?

Its been done long ago, theres a Widget for it.
