<![CDATA[Opera 25 (beta) and MP3]]>¨Support for H.264 and MP3

H.264 video and MP3 Audio is widely used on the internet. With Opera beta 25 you will have native access to such media content. This feature has higher system requirements than the rest of Opera: Windows Vista or newer, OS X 10.9 or newer, and on Linux you need ffmpeg version 2.3.x or newer.¨

I have version 2.4 installed and there is no way to play MP3 on Soundcloud or similar websites.

They inform you how to simply compile your own version of FFmpeg 2.3.x, such that it will not clash with any version you currently have installed. I also explain how to remove the self compiled version at a later date should you need to. Numerous people have tested this instructions and been able to get things working.

This is because ffmpeg does not maintain binary compatibility between versions (2.3.x is not binary compatible with 2.4.x).

¨Sorry, this experiment is not available on your platform.¨

I don't understand, Opera Desktop Team's Blog says all Linux users need is ffmpeg, what am I missing here?

You will have to restart Opera after enabling that option.
