      This has just occurred in the last couple of months. When I go to sample any mp3 music files, the circle on Amazon just spins but no music plays. Is there a fix for this?

        Which version of Opera? Check if opera://flags/#proprietary-media-types-playback is enabled.

        Btw, which Amazon?

          Version 12.17. Where do I go to check if opera://flags/#proprietary-media-types-playback is enabled? I don't understand your question about which Amazon. When I go to where you would download or listen to samples of various tracks, that is where I have problems.

            Not possible in your version of Opera, The above is for the new (Blink) version of Opera.

            I don't understand your question about which Amazon.

            Amazon.com, Amazon.de, Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.au etc.

              I have the latest version of Opera and have the same problem, i.e., Amazon.com music samples do not play. I tried enabling the proprietary media flag, but that did not help.

                After enabling the proprietary media flag, I had to close and reopen the browser, and then I could hear the Amazon music samples.

                  With Opera 12.17 you have to set sitepreferences to force Opera identify itself as Firefox.

                  1. On amazon hit F12
                  2. In context menu select Edit site preferences...
                  3. Select Tab Network
                  4. Near Browser Identification
                  5. Set dropdown list to Mask as Firefox
                  6. OK

                    Okay, I set the flag to Mask as Firefox. I closed and reopened the Opera browser but Amazon samples still do not play. Is there something else I missed or need to do?
