We are currently doing single .zip files because our cart software requires it. However, we are dissatisfied with our cart software for a number of reasons (including that one) and Andrew is working on replacing the current cart software with something much better and more flexible. When he is done, we will be able to present downloads as individual files.
That said, individual files will mean between approximately 70 megabytes and 180 megabytes per file as .mp3. The files will be in .mp3 format, which is a compressed format. We will not be additionally compressing them, as people who purchase from and download to cell phones and/or tablets then have to copy it to their computer, decompress it, and then copy it back, which becomes a problem quickly for a lot of people.
