Thanks Andrea! It isn't totally ideal with Twitter formatting, but at least isn't a Soundcloud link, which people ignore like the plague :P:P. Definitely a bit of a workaround but it also helps solve another problem! I rarely used a different .MP3 file for previews because I didn't see a huge use for it, but now I can edit down a preview so it starts on the most interesting part (skipping past the boring preamble stuff that turns most people off) and just link to that and let it autoplay.
I just did some reading and it sounds like on Chrome for Desktop, Google removed the disable autoplay setting, although it is still available on the Android version. So at least if people are using Chrome, I can assault them with my sonic spells like we're on Myspace in 2007!
I know NOTHING about the backend management of the website or how hard to implement things are, but I think if this could be refined into a slightly more user friendly feature it could be really useful for musicians on the site.
Right now it's just a flat link when I try to Tweet, which isn't the worst, but the dream scenario would be for it to format with a card or something that could pull metadata from the page and get the song name and artist name in a little bubble that is nicely formatted within the tweet, similar to how linking a Youtube video does. I'm guessing that has more to do with Twitter's handling of the stuff and not so much the external content that's being linked but...maybe not? I really don't want to be that jerk who is flippantly asking for something that is an insane technical challenge or something, but is something like that a possibility?
Wait, can you explain how you did that? I've been trying to just copy the link at the top of the page and post to Twitter. Whatever you did there, when I clicked it, it instantly played. If this is possible to link to Twitter just like this, it's exactly what I'm looking for!
I recently started playing through Transistor. Some really neat music in there. I really love how it's really futuristic but still relies heavily on guitar.
Golden Sun was a game I played a lot as a kid but can't remember the soundtrack. I bet if I listened memories would come rushing back. Rimworld has a really really fitting soundtrack. I love the western but not too western feel of it.

I see, thanks for reading anyway! Guess I'm back where I started unfortunately.

Final Fantasy 8 and LOD soundtracks MADE ME.
If anyone wants a composer to collaborate with, send me a message!

I have the start of something, but I'm not sure which instruments to use to describe him. Do you have any ideas?
