-			build-in metadata and always AAC-LC, which is a codec playable by pretty much every device
-			in existence.
-
-			Unfortunately, there appears to be no way to determine which codec/quality combination we'll
-			get until we make the request and see what content gets delivered. For some books,
-			Widevine/High delivers 44.1 kHz / 128 kbps audio and Adrm/High delivers 22.05 kHz / 64 kbps.
-			In those cases, the Widevine content size is much larger. Other books will deliver the same
-			sample rate / bitrate for both Widevine and Adrm, the only difference being codec. Widevine
-			is usually xHE-AAC, but is sometimes AAC-LC. Adrm is always AAC-LC.
-
-			To decide which file we want, use this simple rule: if files are different codecs and
-			Widevine is significantly larger, use Widevine. Otherwise use ADRM.
