Oh yes - excellent tool, I use it heavily myself - especially for playing .wmv video files.
But that does not deal with the DRM problem.  If the audio subscription resources provided files which these tools could use then they might be a solution.  But DRM severly limits opportunities and in this case, paves over the playground.
