How much space taken is too much?

I’m currently in the midst of making a bunch of packs to better help ship some tunes to the public, now recently i’ve adopted a give the user mp3, ogg, and wav format policy. This usually results in about a 20-30 mb file. Now… we all know a pack is about 10-14 songs… and… well doing simple math it would take about [200-300] to [280, 420] mb’s… that’s nearly half a gig. I don’t think AJ is looking forward to the potential bandwidth rape that would be those packages.

I obviously don’t intend to put the wav format in there, might just keep it all mp3’s, but for smaller packs I do, I am considering throwing some wav’s in there.

Which begs the question, how much is too much? I’ve hit 50mb’s and that was passed so I assume around there is the okay point? I’d compress the wav files properly but native zip files which AJ wants don’t really compress anything and serve as containment.

There have been 100+ megabyte uploads here as well.

Otherwise i’d personally go with just uploading a high quality mp3, And maybe guide the buyer with a txt file within the main ZIP containing instructions on how to convert an mp3 to wav format, and point him to a free software that allows doing so. There are tons of freewares out there

I’d rather do that than uploading a 400-500 Mb file to AJ, anyday
