Depends on lots of things. Not everyone has dsl connections. I
understand large chunks of rural USA are still at the end of POTS modems.

I suspect the page will get a lot larger, with eg 690 images of record
sleeves, each (on the current design) in a hidden div until you select
the tab etc. Also, apart from the first few records, most of the data
isn't loaded yet. I suspect that the page as envisaged by the OP will,
when "complete" be about 1.25k per song * 690 songs (based on averaging
the text and markup of the first five items) for 870 Kb plus images 12kb
(I only checked the size of the first one) * 690 = about 8.3 Mb of images.

That's about 9 Mb for the single page load.

I still think it would be a lot more user friendly to have a php back
end to look the individual songs up in a database and present the
individual songs one at a time, instead of trying to load the whole lot
to the clients machine and then switching between them by hiding /
unhiding divs.
