Despite the name, opengameart isn't for hosting all things art. It's for hosting art assets. Specifically non-code assets. I get that scripts, shaders, and modules could be considered art or assets, but a few of the reasons for the soft distinction between code and [non-code art-based] assets is because 1.) There are already many free/open/game code sharing sites, but few free/open/game asset sharing sites. 2.) licensing and legal definitions often treat the two separately.
This isn't a hard and fast rule, so the suggestion is a possibility, but my initial reaction as a site Amin is "meh, not sure it's quite the right fit". I'm open to be convinced otherwise though.
It may be a possibility, but a lot of users don't like that sort of thing, so there would have to be some pretty heavy opt-out features. Or, more likely, auto-play that only works with a very specific link variable, like futureversionofopengameart.org/content/black-diamond?auto-play=true. Though even that is subject to abuse by spammers, so we would have to restrict it to working on submissions by users who have been approved or something. I have no doubt you would be approved for this since you're an obviously upstanding user. The reason I bring it up is because it adds complexity to the feature. The site had some recent hiccups when we enabled some modules for this kind of new feature. It's unfortunately a sensitive back-end that is prone to emotional breakdowns. One small change that should have improved how audio submissions are previewed resulted in audio previews not working at all unless you viewed them from the gallery.
TL;DR: Possible, but it may need to wait until we're migrated to OGA3... which doesn't have a lot of volunteers at the moment. :/
Oh...
Yaay!
Once you submit a song, the preview is given a static url. Click the edit tab on your submission, right click the preview file name, and select 'copy link address'. (Menu text may vary depending on browser)
Note that the instant play feature of direct linking may not work for all users. Some people have their browser preferences set to stop auto play for these as well. Hope it's still helpful to you. :)
I'm still going to give it a shot. Let me know if you see something that looks like it might work. in the meantime, I'm guessing linking directly to the tracks is not sufficient? For example:
Will look into it, but any form of auto play has been beyond difficult to implement since 2018. We have to fight active countermeasures in browsers just to get it to work.
Heck no. As many as you can make. Only one of them can win, though. Also, all of them should be submitted before the deadline, which has already passed for this challenge. If it's something you already submitted (within the challenge submission timeframe) it should be fine, though. Just add the tags to it.
All game code is art.

Bruh.

Both 7zip and WinRAR open it for me. Try those.
nice.
Why not upload them here on OGA, though?
