What about movies and TV shows?
For $15 per semester, you can download movies and TV shows. To use this feature you must be accessing Ruckus from on-campus.

Can I download my music to an iPod or MP3 player?
For $20 a semester you can subscribe to Ruckus to Go and download your music to a Microsoft certified “PlaysforSure” MP3 player. Sorry, but Ruckus to Go is not available for iPods.

Why can't I use this service on my iPod or Macintosh computer?
Apple has their own Digital Rights Management system that only works with iTunes and the iPod and they have not licensed it for anyone else to use. We will continue to watch the technology landscape and if this situation changes, we will look into a service that provides access to legal music for all computer users.
