[G4] Apple's Music Store: Fast Connex Needed?

[sr ferenczy]

figure about 3-5 MB per song. i have done it on a 56k dialup connection 
without too much hassle (besides the wait) and a few times the download 
failed/timed out but i was able to re-download it through the itunes 
store (it keeps track of bought songs/successful or unsuccessful 
downloads.

easiest thing to do will be to try it and see. the worst part will 
probably be browsing for songs (lots of pictures, etc) but if you know 
what you want, a simple search should even speed that along.
