[FFmpeg-user] OMA playback

Hi,
I have a question regarding the playback of .OMA files with ffmpeg.The .OMA files I would like to play come from a recovered hard disk from a Sony NW-HD1 walkman. These files were added to the walkwan using Sony Sonicstage. As many users found out the hard way, Sonicstage encrypted and DRM protected the audio files by default when transferring them to the walkwam. On top of that, the audio files couldn't be played back in a newly installed version of Sonicstage because the original installed version was associated with a unique encryption key. When I changed computers, I found out that the original encryption key was still on the computer I threw away.
So because of this, I have a library of .OMA files I cannot play. I have read through numerous forums and tried out various proposed solutions but so far, none of them has worked. Various solutions include the use of ffmpeg, even when the audio files are protected but it doesn't seem to work for the files I try to play.Could someone help me with this? I can always send a test .OMA file. A big thanks in advance.
Kind regards,
Ronnie
