Free legal music downloads...

I've just come across a new music download service that is free for college students (you need a .edu email account to sign up).
www.Ruckus.com
It is based on wma playsforsure drm so it is limited to Windows and other playsforsure devices. The ad supported ruckus player is needed to download the music, but it is playable in any compatible player like winamp. I've found bitrates of 128 to 192 for the songs I've downloaded so far. They have the standard fare of commercial songs you'd expect.
Since this is targeted at what is probably the biggest group of illegal downloaders, so I'd say this is a nice solution for that audience.

BTW: I'm not affiliated with Ruckus/Microsoft/etc in any way.

To the Moderators: Could somebody move this to the general music forum.
