R2 gives you the new File Screen templates, which let you allow/deny users saving files of particular file extensions to network drives. You can either create a "soft screen" that will only log violations, or a "hard screen" that will actually prevent the user from saving the errant file.
It's only based on the .??? file extension, so a savvy user could rename song.wma to song.txt and save it. (But if that behaviour were taking place, I would consider it more of an HR issue than a technical one.)
