Don't use Ruckus

[Sal Atticum]

It's a waste of time and space.  Even though it's supposedly "free" music, it's not: you need the special player to play it, it only works in Windows, and the songs expire.  It's just like the crappy repackaged Napster.  Most anoyingly, they won't LET you delete your account if you are a student, because "you aren't being charged, so why do you need to delete it?" RRRRRRR.

I have heard many complaints about Ruckus.

You would be better off with an online radio station then Ruckus.

Or just listen to all of your music through youtube.

I forgot to mention that the North Dakota University System is planning on implementing Ruckus system wide.
