HOW TO HEAR THE ALBUM
Madonna has put her new disc, “American Life,” on the Internet so fans can get a free preview, but you can’t download it.
You might need to jump through a few digital hoops to hear the disc, which is playing on MTV.com through Tuesday right here.
If you click on the song title and nothing happens, try these steps:
First, download RealOne Player software from the RealPlayer.com Web site. Ignore the “14-Day Trial” and get a free version by clicking the “Free RealOne Player” link on the upper right-hand corner of the window.
At the next window, click “Download the Free RealOne Player” on the lower right-hand side of the window. The program will automatically begin to download. When prompted, click “yes,” then, “express install.”
When the licensing agreement pops up, hit “accept.” You will then have the option of setting RealOne Player as your default media player (click the boxes if you don’t want that option).
The last step is to register your player, which requires an e-mail address, ZIP code and country/region. Now you can play.
