You'll be able to download anything you can imagine. We have all the popular music and movies but also hard to find titles. There are millions of files available on the network and it's expanding everyday.

Market to U.S. Major Retailers African movies with great storylines, sharp pictures, clear sounds and on DVD. If it is on VCD, then we'll need the Master Tape & Sound to convert it to DVD.

If you purchase the file you may download it from that source. You may not then proceed to share it with anyone over the University of Richmond network. You cannot connect to another computer's personal library of music or movies and play them from that source on your computer.

One of the things that causes some delay in getting your music or movie listed with Lightning is the time necessary to produce high quality scans of artwork for any print collateral provided with your CD or DVD. Though we are eager to put your music or movie online, we pride ourselves on giving the customer the full quality artwork as well as full quality music and movies - and so we take great care with the art we make available.

No. Music files you download are protected by digital rights management, so they're licensed to you for 30 days. A "Renew By" date in your music and movie libraries indicates when the license for each downloaded title will expire. If you are logged into Ruckus and play an expired song, the license will renew automatically. You can also manually renew the license by right-clicking the title and selecting "renew license.

The #1 question we are asked and it's getting a little hard to contain myself from running a script to kick people for asking. hehehe. mIRC4dummies does not really condone software piracy.

Some servers do not allow the /list command so you might have to change servers for it to work.

We buy all formats and genres of music at the Minneapolis and St. Paul store locations. We buy CD’s and DVD’s at the Fridley and Moorhead locations. All stores buy DVD movies, however, only the Minneapolis location buys VHS movies. We need the original cases and artwork. Note: We make an offer on everything, except STOLEN movies and music, and we make every effort to catch thieves!

Our selection varies by store location, however few stores in the country have a broader selection than our Minneapolis store. Our 3 St. Paul locations boast an excellent selection, while our Fridley and Moorhead selections are smaller – Our smallest store still carries more than 30,000 CD’s.

Ruckus offers online music purchases through Buy.com. You can buy individual tracks or entire CDs. Movies are not available for purchase via Ruckus, but are available through Buy.com. Whenever you are given the option to download a music track or album you are also given the option to buy through Buy.com. If the track or album is available for purchase, a Buy.com icon will appear. By selecting that icon you will be taken directly to that track or album's page at Buy.com.

Our online downloadable collection of material does have several movie and music items, but the selection is limited at this time. It promises to grow, however, and we encourage you to check regularly.

Do NOT expect it to be like using a PSP or other dedicated device for playing movies. The conversion process is clunky, slow and the results are less than desirable. If you are really interesting in watching movies on the go, consider a GP2x - it has the best of everything when it comes to portable emulation and media on the go. Use your DS for playing games. :)
