I just downloaded RealOne Player because the previous beta had expired. They make you go through hoops if you don't come from the US.
You have to somehow know that your browser needs to be set to en_us. To give them their due, they put up a link you can click on to change your language and country. However, you don't get told why you may want to do this. What you need to do is:
- Go to www.real.com
- Click on the link next to your country's flag (mine said English/United Kingdom).
- Choose English as the language.
- Choose United States as the location.
- A new page will open. Click on Free RealOne Player on the right hand side.
- Follow the instructions given on the next page.
After downloading you can look outside the window and say "Toto, I don't think we're in Kansas anymore!".
