Certainly some of the models they list are pretty good but, as you say, expensive.
I'm very surpised that the people behind this service imagine it can become popular without being iPod compatible. Further, given that there are so many other legal sources of music, why would anyone bother with one which is so tied into restrictive file formats and has the nerve to tell you which hardware to buy.
Howdy all,
My daughter has a Ruckus membership through her College, and she wants to get the "to-go" service so she can buy songs for her MP3 Player. The Site requires that any player used have the DRM/Windows Vista Certification. Ruckus has a list of recommended players...all costing lots of money.
Question: Will any MP3 Player with WMDRM or Secure WMA format work? I can find a few players that she can afford, but want to get something that will work with the Ruckus download format.
All assistance appreciated.
