Free Music For American College Students


I'm not sure how many people can use this, but I thought I'd pass it along: Ruckus is a website that offers free DRMed WMA downloads to anyone with an e-mail address from a college in the United States. They have a surprisingly wide selection, and they get new releases each week from most of the indie labels and major labels. Give it a shot if you can, it makes following music much more affordable (or at least more legal for you pirates out there).
