Ruckus Music Service Fades Away

You may remember a review we posted raving about Ruckus when the music download service first came out. Ruckus recently and abruptly announced that the "service will no longer be provided."
Ruckus began as a subsidized music streaming service, but later offered free (ad-supported) music downloads to college students. For an additional fee, students could activate a "Ruckus to Go" subscription to play their music on PlaysForSure-supported devices. Note that neither Microsoft's Zune nor the Apple iPod support PlaysForSure DRM music.
The announcement is not too surprising, considering that Apple announced just last month that iTunes will now be DRM-free starting in April and, more importantly, that the iPhone will support music downloading over 3G effective immediately.
