Well, actually the music download won't be nearly as horrendous as it was any other year thanks to the fast packet update. You'll be able to download music at the blazing speed of 3Mb/s (I'm sure the alternate download will also be available since 3Mb/s still isn't actually too fast, it's just a ton faster compared to the old rate limit).
Also I'm currently a proponent of using less than 150 loops, since that will make the download feasible to people who don't download the music externally.
