I can get up to 2 MB/s online, but it depends on the download source (Graal is actually really (really) fast, I can download 100 MB files from RC in about a minute on Era).

I don't like that approach at all. Even if a majority have broadband, it doesn't mean it's necessarily fast enough to deal with whole a whole soundtrack of mp3's(I personally have very crappy cable speeds). Especially because ideally I'd want to make a download pack of them(so they don't have to download first to play), which means downloading them all at once. I also don't like excluding dial-up playerbase. That doesn't mean I wouldn't use mp3's, but in the end it depends on balancing the pros and cons.
MOD sounds interesting, but does Graal even support it? Also, if it does, is it treated like a MIDI or MP3(Graal handles them differently, scriptwise). Graal sound scene is so very outdated, and it seems like Stefan has no interest in improving it.
