Music? For Free? Where Do I Sign Up?

Okay, so you are a poor college student that loves music. There is no way you are going to pay for new music that comes out, so what are you going to do? There are not a huge amount of options, what with this whole file sharing fiasco going on in the media. Luckily, I have once again sacrificed my time to find you your resources.

The site is called Ruckus.com. Ruckus is a file sharing network that you can use with a college email address. All you have to do is get onto the website, and put in a valid college email. That's it! From there, you download the music player that supports the files Ruckus uses, and you play the music directly. This site has many obscure artists, and many live albums not able to be found in stores. It truly is a gift from the musical gods.

Drawbacks to this site are as follows: You can only play the music through their own special music player. The files are a super special type that only plays through the Ruckus Player. That means that it has to stay on your machine. You are not allowed to transfer it to any portable music device. So, if you love to listen to music outside of your room, you are screwed. Unless, you want to illegally download a file conversion device that allows you to convert the file type to anything you want. Not usually the best idea to break the law, in my honest opinion
