Play downloaded m4p with AVAudioPlayer or MPMusicPlayerController?

Question

Hey guys, I got an *.m4p-file reachable via a http-URL and want to play this in my iPhone App.

First I tried to use the [CODE]AVAudioPlayer[/CODE], but it does not seem to support m4p-format. Am I right here?

Then I wanted to use the [CODE]MPMusicPlayerController[/CODE], but this one only can play songs located within you iTunes Library reachable as [CODE]MPMediaItem[/CODE]'s...

Is there a known way to solve this issue or am I screwed up completely??

Thanks in advance.
