Google's John Mueller was asked if the site should make the meta data of its audio files indexable by Google. In which John responded "Think less about the type of pages, and more about the quality of the pages that you want to have indexed."
Yea, the format type of your content is not as important as what the content actually says and does for the reader.
Here is the tweet from the Google Webmaster account, which I assume (maybe wrong) was posted by John Mueller:
Think less about the type of pages, and more about the quality of the pages that you want to have indexed. Are these the best versions of that content on your site? If so, then indexing sounds good.

He was then asked a somewhat similar question about publishing content that is similar and he said, you really need to make your "commodity content" unique and better:
It doesn't matter what kind of site, ultimately you need to find a way to differentiate yourself, especially when it comes to "commodity content". What would make your site the objective best result by far for your preferred queries? Just being the same as others doesn't cut it.

So create quality content and the best site you say?
