A virtual library of content is provided that makes it appear that the content is all of a supported file type for a particular client accessing the virtual library. When the virtual library is displayed at a client device, the content appears as if it is available in the appropriate format for the client device irrespective of the content's actual format. Content selected from a content library interface for the virtual library is provided in the appropriate format for the client device through the automatic invoking of a content access service. The content access service can determine the appropriate consumption format for the client device and convert to a supported file format any content that is in a non-supported format before providing the content to the client device.
