Like he said before, you can have the good file, if you change the 
user-agent.
wget -U NSPlayer  
http://ms.bandeapart.fm/bap/albums/973/6573_h_07-Patience.asf
doesn't return the same file that
wget http://ms.bandeapart.fm/bap/albums/973/6573_h_07-Patience.asf

I just want to know why I'm able to read it with media player and not 
mplayer.
Is it because the file format use an unknown algorithm?

I can play half of these playlist files and I have to manually skip the 
others:
