@jozop Yeah, it seems to depend on your location which streaming sites are available in the sidebar player. There was another user reporting that he can use Gaana which is a streaming site in India.

@jozop: I (being in Germany) have these six sites in the player: Apple Music, Deezer, SoundCloud, Spotify, Tidal, YouTube Music.

As older blog and forum postings about the new Music Player in the sidebar are all locked by now, I'm adding my comment here. On an old forum thread I saw Gaana mentioned as an available streaming site, so I guess the added providers depend on the user location, as I (being in Germany) have these six sites in the player: Apple Music, Deezer, SoundCloud, Spotify, Tidal, YouTube Music.

Only two of them (Spotify and Deezer) can scrobble my listening to my Last.fm profile, as they have independent methods to enable this via web API connection to Last.fm. It would be great if Opera could implement an internal scrobbling option for the other four sites as well. The Last.fm API is free to use, and implementing scrobbling is not complicated, it only reads the artist, album and track info from the currently playing song and sends it to Last.fm.

Hi, finally found the time to check out the new sidebar music player and like it so far. The six available streaming sites including Deezer are well chosen in my opinion, and they even scrobble to Last.fm, either with their internal scrobbling option or with the Web Scrobbler browser extension which is available in the Chrome web store and works fine with Opera. One little thing I miss though: a quick mute button in the small preview popup. When using the web players in a normal tab, I can quickly mute that tab, but not with the sidebar player, right?

@zylx I'm using Windows 10 Home version 1909.

@ironbone: For me it works, also scrobbling to Last.fm with it.
