I agree that it's not warranted for the mp3 applications, but I do appreciate the much reduced frame-to-frame lag between shots on the digital camera. It also does playback much faster when reviewing the photos.

I'd say for $10, go for speed.
Also, buy big if the price differential is manageable. A year or two from now, when you might want to use that card in something else, today's sizes might seem a little small.

Speed also matters for movie mode on many of the most modern consumer-level cameras. Even in a tiny Canon SD500 you want a high-speed SD card if you want to use the 640x480, 30fps movie mode.
