Thanks for the reply!
Of course you can release music in itch, but it lacks the most important feature: a built-in player. Something like this would be great (it’s what I’m currently using): https://github.com/blackle/blamscamp I don’t think we need anything similar to Spotify, just an (official) built-in player for releases.
Having the possibility of developing musical experiences is nice, but it’s not for everyone. Many musicians aren’t into coding or just aren’t interested in doing anything beyond music.
