Uploading an "album" of music?
About a day ago I uploaded 20 tracks of loopable background music. The thing is, it hadn't occured to me that I might want to post these tracks separately or that doing it that way might be the norm here. Instead I put all 20 tracks as FLAC files with an OGG Vorbis preview for each of them into a single upload: https://opengameart.org/content/ambient-bgm-loops-vol-1
I started to suspect this wasn't the best way to do things when I noticed the page for my submission has 20 unlabeled preview players, so someone who has stumbled on the page won't know which track they're previewing. Should I have done this as individually uploaded tracks in a collection? Is it worth taking down what I uploaded to redo it this way?
Alternatively, if I keep it up the way it is, should I add a .zip archive so someone can download all 20 tracks at once?
I would say you did it the preferred way. It isn't that difficult to tell which preview goes with each track, in my opinion.

One thing I like to do on big albums like that is make the first preview be a sampling of several of the songs in the album. You can still have more detailed individual previews after that, but the first preview can be heard right from the gallery page, so it does better representing the whole album that way.
