The length of time it takes for a song to download or for a stream to start depends heavily on the speed of your Internet connection, overall congestion on the Internet, and the size of the song file. Assuming ordinary Internet congestion, if you are connecting at 3 Mbps, a 5 MB song download should take around 15 seconds. If you are connecting at 128 Kbps, the same download will take around 5 ½ minutes. Generally speaking, if your speed is higher, then your download will be faster.
