If you are a college student with an official ".edu" email address, you are automatically eligible for a free membership to "Ruckus" - a music download site. The site claims to have over 2 million songs available for download and there is absolultely no charge for the service whatsoever as long as you have a ".edu" email address.
Lucky for me, I just happen to be enrolled in collge full-time at the moment! I checked out the site and it looks totally legit. They make their money through advertising that is on the site and embedded in the "Ruckus Player" that I downloaded to my PC. By the way, the music that is downloaded is only meant to be played on a PC, not on an MP3 or other device, or burned to CD. It's part of the user agreement that you either accept or don't accept.
To me, it's a pretty nice thing to have. I downloaded a couple of Norah Jones and Bonnie Raitt CD's this afternoon and then listened to them contently. The quality was great and the Ruckus Player was easy to use.
The site mentioned that after I leave college, I'll be able to contine to use the service for $8.99 a month.
