Awesome! That just made my day. And to think had I not quit using Opera Next, or Beta I would have known that already.

Yes. Unless something unexpected happens you should see it working by default in Opera 25.

Really? I'm using the latest Beta build (25.0.1614.35) and the mp3 support is not working. When I drag and drop a .mp3 file into Opera it does nothing! Chrome automatically plays the file as soon as I drop it. I also have the following problems: "Google translate" has no voice, why I can not hear the sound on this page?.

Here it plays the file.

Do you have opera://flags/#proprietary-media-types-playback enabled? Also, which Windows do you use?

Yes, that flag is enabled by default. I use Windows 7 Home Premium, 32-bit.

Should be working on Win7 afaik.

If you try to open the file from Opera, does it works?

Nope. When I try to open the file [this] happens. Also, Opera is not able to play embedded .mp3 files from any site, (the issues I mentioned above), etc...

dinexi, that mp3 is playing for me in Opera 25. I didn't try in version 26, but I don't see why it shouldn't.

@leocg,where is the mp3 codec that Opera uses? It seems that Opera is having troubles finding it (at least for me). I even created a thread of this: https://forums.opera.com/topic/5759/opera-25-mp3-support/1.

Sorry, no idea. I guess it uses the system's ones but i'm not sure.
