    UT has joined with Ruckus to provide all students with free unlimited music and movie downloads. All you have to do is go to www.ruckus.com and activate your account. It's easy and entire albums download in about 30 seconds. If you don't attend UT, but are still a student, you might want to check to see if your school has a similar partnership.

    I got that email yesterday, and I can't help but wonder how this is legal?

    I have been taking advantages of it's services, but I still feel like I'm doing something wrong.

    Looks like you can't burn the tracks downloaded from Ruckus onto a CD, or move them to an mp3 player. Anyone figure out how to do this?

    Its probably like Napster where its timestamped and you have to "synch" up when you want to listen to them...Probably can only burn them if you buy...That sucks unless you can only hang out in your room...

    Actually, I just read up on it and although you can't burn the tracks to CD, you can transfer them to a compatible mp3 player. Too bad mine isn't compatible.

    No you're not. You can't tell "it's" from "its":
    :D Oh, wait. Freshman. Got it. ;)

    We got this at OU too. It's pretty cool. It would be nice if they had a little more content though.

    The website that says they'll take my e-mail address (.edu required) and THEN tell me if my school is a parter? No thanks. Sounds like spam heaven to me. If they let me use my junk-mail account, that'd be one thing, but this? I don't know. I think I'll stick to getting my music the way God intended: via Limewire and BitTorrent. ;)

    Just download Replay Music or Tunebite, and you can record all your tracks into mp3's that you can use anywhere. I use it for Real Rhapsody.
