What's really cool: after downloading from Ruckus (instead of a site like Lime Wire), all the tags remain intact, organizing the library all by its lonesome. Then iTunes downloads album art for it--making everything pretty.

Of course, I don't agree with any of this, I'm just posting it for fun and games.

Some advice for Ruckus: quit while you're ahead. This will never fly.]]>Jan 22nd 2007 2:07PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/22/ruckus-network-offers-free-stipulation-laced-tunes-to-college/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/22/ruckus-network-offers-free-stipulation-laced-tunes-to-college/Jan 22nd 2007 2:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/22/ruckus-network-offers-free-stipulation-laced-tunes-to-college/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/22/ruckus-network-offers-free-stipulation-laced-tunes-to-college/Jan 22nd 2007 2:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/22/ruckus-network-offers-free-stipulation-laced-tunes-to-college/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/22/ruckus-network-offers-free-stipulation-laced-tunes-to-college/Jan 22nd 2007 2:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/22/ruckus-network-offers-free-stipulation-laced-tunes-to-college/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/22/ruckus-network-offers-free-stipulation-laced-tunes-to-college/Jan 22nd 2007 2:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/22/ruckus-network-offers-free-stipulation-laced-tunes-to-college/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/22/ruckus-network-offers-free-stipulation-laced-tunes-to-college/
Oh, and the DRM is flimsy at best. Fair use FTW.]]>Jan 22nd 2007 2:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/22/ruckus-network-offers-free-stipulation-laced-tunes-to-college/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/22/ruckus-network-offers-free-stipulation-laced-tunes-to-college/Jan 22nd 2007 3:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/22/ruckus-network-offers-free-stipulation-laced-tunes-to-college/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/22/ruckus-network-offers-free-stipulation-laced-tunes-to-college/Jan 22nd 2007 4:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/22/ruckus-network-offers-free-stipulation-laced-tunes-to-college/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/22/ruckus-network-offers-free-stipulation-laced-tunes-to-college/Jan 22nd 2007 4:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/22/ruckus-network-offers-free-stipulation-laced-tunes-to-college/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/22/ruckus-network-offers-free-stipulation-laced-tunes-to-college/
Hope for Windows Media DRM on the Mac went out the window the same day Microsoft discontinued WMP 9 Player for Mac and Flip4Mac took over. As far as I can tell Flip4Mac has no plans to support MS-DRM on the Mac and even if they did they would probably charge a substancial fee for such capabilities.

My point is, I wish everybody would not say anything about a music service and a Mac. The only way Ruckus or any other service (except maybe RealNetworks) is going to touch the Mac is if Apple licenses FairPlay w/ subscription expiration capabilities. And although H.E. double has frozen over before with Intel... on FairPlay... I don't forsee such happening. The only reason any MSDRM based services can't support the Mac is because Apple won't license FairPlay to them. It is Apple's fault because it's Apple's perfect little platform.

I own an iMac Intel Core 2 Duo and use BootCamp. I love Apple's operating system & computers, but I hate their iTunes/iPod crap and Steve's policies relating there-in. Until they learn to PlayFair with FairPlay, I'm not touching an iPod. I use Sony Connect (PSP)and Napster (Palm, Zen Xtra) for purchases and Ctrax/Ruckus for subscription.

And yes Tunebite works wonders!!! :-)]]>Jan 22nd 2007 4:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/22/ruckus-network-offers-free-stipulation-laced-tunes-to-college/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/22/ruckus-network-offers-free-stipulation-laced-tunes-to-college/Jan 22nd 2007 5:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/22/ruckus-network-offers-free-stipulation-laced-tunes-to-college/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/22/ruckus-network-offers-free-stipulation-laced-tunes-to-college/
