The audiobook I downloaded was a set of mp3 files, no DRM. Actually, the initial download was an Overdrive (odm) file that I downloaded from the library website in native Firefox. Running that file in Overdrive caused it to download the set of mp3 files that comprise the audiobook. It went very smoothly (to my surprise).  It worked because there was no DRM. Overdrive can play non-DRM WMA files--the app includes a  "welcome to overdrive" WMA file that played just fine. 

If your sole reason for wanting to install this app is to play DRM-protected WMA files, don't bother.  WMP DRM is not likely to work in Wine any time soon, if ever.
