Yes, actually.  My mother used to purchase music online from Walmart.
The reason they require WMP9 is that they have DRM on them.

Of course, you can strip the DRM with a recent hack that came out.

I'd recommend installing WMP10 or 11 and downloading the music, then
stripping them and converting them to mp3 or something.

Good luck.
