Audiobook content
For audiobook content, it’s very common for the DRM scheme and content type to be represented by a single media type. An example is application/vnd.librarysimplified.findaway.license+json, which describes the audiobooks served through Findaway’s Audioengine product--used by both Bibliotheca and Baker & Taylor. No media type is necessary for the content: if you can negotiate the DRM system then you also know how to play the audio files.

Media types recognized by the circulation manager but not served to clients
If a vendor indicates that content is available in one of these media types, the circulation manager will take note of that fact, but will not offer the content to clients in any of these formats. In some cases, such as courseware and video, this is because none of the existing clients support this type of content at all.
