Thanks to all that have responded.
The average MIDI file in Dink is somewhere round 10KB. An mp3 that's useful will never be that small.
However, I think, with enough reduction in sampling rating, I can get 5 minute mp3s down around 1MB. And I'd probably only want 12 or so of them (just for the music). And I won't be making graphics files, which do take up a lot of space.
As for what's too big for a download, that's a local problem. SP1 for Windows 2003 is around 350MB!
I read over the old thread mentioned earlier
and I do appreciate the concerns about dial-up users. However, I don't believe dmod makers are under any obligation to support the lowest common denominator of users. Many dmod makers will want to do this.
As a point of comparison, I present a 4MB WAV
of 1:37 minute song (11K sample rate, stereo) and the 764KB (64K sample rate, stereo) MP3 version.
WAV
