this has already failed. there are many soundcards (such as the
soundblaster live) that allow you to digitally re-route the output of your
wave player back into the card (without loss of quality) so you can record
/anything/ as a wave file. plus programs like virtual audio cable, etc
etc.. pay per listen will never happen.
