Regard it as a rompler and extract the loops by recording them. Then
load them in your favorite player/mangler/squasher. Etc. 

Yes, it's more work, but to me it's well worth the trade off if
protection of the sample material is guaranteed better by some sort of
proprietary player. I have the curious habit of buying all hardware and
software that I need and these herds of mislead people who have all the
top libraries for the cost of empty cd's (thank god talent can't be
downloaded...) make me very sad now and then. Even to a point that I
considered to quit arranging/producing altogether and just go back to
the old trusty piano playing. 
But I also realize that top sounds don't necessary make you do your work
better or more creative and your clients more happy. Bringing in real
players and singers is often key to a succesful production.
