@SilentHugOfDoom Hi, it's nice of you. Thanks.

Website radios has one disadvantage - they are loaded with tones of shitty graphics and unwanted ads. If you like to listen to the radios only, leave the Opera Player for kids who badly need to watch the whole f****g graphical caboodle, and use CSP.

BTW. Before I discovered Opera Developer, which I deem an excellent base for the next highly developed version focused on productivity (AND not on social networks like at present) and which I named Opera Commander (your request suits the project well), I've turned to small radio scripts.

mpv - plays audio/video
bash - shell script language
IceWM menu - radios launcher
stream port - must be found out and opened in firewall

The xterm (console) window (green, see the Fig.1) can be visible on all IceWM Desktops and "on top" (if you like). everything else explains the screenshot below.

Anyway, Opera appears to be nice and useful tool for running many apps without leaving Opera, but it needs polishing and strong conviction for such changes.

The sidebar is a brilliant idea. It's extremely useful for being effective and for another app on the sidebar, it would be amazing to have the Spotify Web Player integrated into it.

I really like the idea of being able to just play music from Spotify on the sidebar and would like to have this feature!

@leocg Is it possible that it could be added to Opera GX?

@Hartford Probably will be when it reaches the same version of regular Opera.

@Hartford You may use Spotify Player in a Tab from any Workspace for the time being. Create a workspace, name it Media for example, and keep there opened websites or players of all sorts. You can use two windows layout - left one as broad main browser and the right (second) narrow for media center. Sidebar Player's Spotify is functionally limited.

Just for a proof.

Thank you for the itunes but could we also have spotify on the side bar as well. It will be a good relaxer for some of us.

@ruler2006 The OP didn't say nothing about the request is being for GX and didn't post in the GX section...

As far as I know, the (music) player is not there for GX yet. You can enable it in opera://flags but it isn't working yet.

@tasha1241 Then it's either a bug or the service is not available for you. Here Spotify is listed as an option.

Good evening,
I'm very glad with this new Music Player. It's a potentially incredible feature. However, I'm subscribed to Deezer, and not Spotify ! I'm sure I'm not alone in my case, thus I think it would be very nice to add a Deezer option : it would benefit many people !

Kindest regards,
Wulfhartus, from France
