  Several places would need changing to make it seemless, but ultimately
 it's going to fail.

  If you could change m3u -> pls for example, you would be able to 
 download playlists, but the songs referenced inside would be
 unviewable.

  The only obvious option is to convert the music to a different,
 supported, format such as OGG Vorbis files, however a sufficiently
 clued admin  (such as me ;) would block those too...
