  Not bad considering it's a free (as in beer) service. Pro tip: you can organize and play back the files in your player of choice. I've confirmed that it works in Winamp and Windows Media Player. The only caveat is that you'll have to re-authorize the music every month, but that's easily accomplished: load up Ruckus, select a song, use CTRL-A to select every file, and right-click and hit renew license. It'll take a little while (about 4 seconds a song), but you'll be good to go after that.

  Personally, I'm not a big digital music advocate, but Ruckus isn't bad for finding new music cheaply and above-board, and even has some surprisingly rare cuts. I have no idea if the DRM allows for playing anything on-the-go, though.

  Overall:

  I would rather die than use this to build my digital music library and organize my files.
