Does anyone know what happened to Ruckus? I went to the site today and it said, "Unfortunately the Ruckus service will no longer be provided." It was ad based so my guess is that the funding stopped coming in. Just when you can download legally you end up in square one!

I heard of a couple of programs that would get rid of the DRM protection. Tunebite & Fairuse.

i used to use fairuse to get rid of it, but really it was a hastle, plus ruckus would very often have songs missing from albums.

so much easier to just google+megaupload.
