Do any portable devices play both WMA (with DRM protection) and AAC (with DRM protection)?
If not, do any portable devices play both WMA (without DRM protection) and AAC (without DRM protection)?

The Zune is the only device that can come to my mind in terms of playing non-DRM WMA and AAC files straight from the box (ie no need to install Rockbox). The Zune can play DRM WMA files but they must be purchased from the Zune store. The iPod is the only device that can play DRM AAC files though.
As previously said, any Rockbox compatible player can handle both non-DRM WMA and AAC files. Just keep in mind that Rockbox doesn't work on the new iPod classics.

And the new Creative Zen plays MP3/AAC/WMA/WMA DRM/WAV/Audible, but no AAC DRM.

I knew there were a few players I was forgetting, I just couldn't remember them for the life of me.
