Limited releases on Spotify, informally

Answer:

EPS

Hint:

Think of short musical projects that artists drop between full albums—often just a few tracks, like a mini-album. The term is borrowed from the world of vinyl records.

Explanation:

This clue refers to "EPS," short for extended plays—shorter-than-album music releases often dropped by artists on platforms like Spotify. The word "informally" hints at the abbreviation rather than the full term. "Limited releases" plays on how EPS typically contain just a few tracks, unlike full albums. It’s a common music industry term, especially in streaming culture.
