Opera and Spotify have partnered to make it easier for users to listen to their favorite music, podcasts, and more while browsing the web.

It has long been possible to listen to music from within Opera's browser. If you go down its sidebar, you'll see a player icon where you can choose from Apple Music, Spotify and Deezer and then log into any of them with your account details.

Opera announced that Spotify is now the default streaming service in its flagship desktop web browser, Opera One R2.

Gustav Söderström says Spotify will host AI-generated music, but won't generate its own, warning that other streaming services could generate AI music in-house - at the expense of real musicians

Here’s a fun little deal that snuck its way into the lesser-known Opera web browser: right now, you can snag three months of Spotify Premium for free thanks to a collaboration between Spotify and Opera.
