You can upload multiple textures in one submission. submissions with lots of textures tend to get noticed a lot more than a bunch of submissions with one texture each.
Why not combine them all together in one submission instead of 9 different ones? Larger sets with multiple songs tend to get noticed more than multiple smaller individual submissions with one song each.
(P.S. There is not really a need to add "music" to all the tags since this is already in the Music category. It actually makes it harder for people to find since searching for "retro" or "loop" will not display things tagged "retro music" or "music loop". see https://opengameart.org/content/art-tags for more information. :)
@docfo4r: to answer your earlier question, I believe using the triangle-circle-cross-square buttons in a playstation game should be perfectly fine. What OGA shares and what you're allowed to use are not quite the same thing. Nominative Fair Use, and all that. I can't give you any sort of guarantee or endorsement, obviously. Ultimately you'll have to make your own determination.
As for other non-Sony buttons and symbols: The XBox, Steam, and Nintendo logos and branding could be problematic for you in the same way the Sony symbols may be, but those don't appear in this pack, so they were not addressed. Sony appears to be the only one with trademarked button symbols. All other controllers use fairly generic letter or number designations (not trademarked), so they were not the focus of the discussion above.
It appears the community has arrived at a consensus on a few things:
Sony's trademark is stupid.
Although there is a difference between copyright and trademark, this community considers both concerns worthy of scrutiny.
Despite #1, we should let people know of the potential pitfalls of using trademarks in their projects so they can make an informed assessment of how Fair Use affects them.
If there are no objections, I'll add a notice per #3 and omit the potentially troublesome symbols, while also making them available elsewhere for users to decide their own circumstances.
P.S. it's pretty minimal as I have little discord moderating experience. Let me know if you'd like to be a moderator on the discord or brush it up a bit. I'll promote you. :)
If anyone knows of official usage guidelines, they would still be very helpful here. Since OGA has firmly established disallowing trademarks in submissions, I also agree adding a notice regarding the specific trademark is a good idea, but we'll wait a bit for xelu's input first.
You can add it in just the preview, or just the download, or both. Is it a photo someone else took?
nice textures.

nice. Where are the photo's from that were used to make these?
what did you use these for? tell us about that. :)
the upside down inside out challenge has not started yet.
I like it!
