Yes, you actually can download good music for free! The only catch? You need to be a college student with a valid .edu email address. That should include pretty much all of you poor college students out there reading this.

Ruckus.com is a great established site which allows you to download music for free. There are ads all over the site which allows them to give music away for free. They also have an agreement with the record labels so that helps also. Go ahead and check out their About page and find out more!

Update: Ruckus.com has since been shut down. Thanks to Erica for letting us know!
