Media is data. Ebooks are data. MP3 files are data. Everything but programs are data and even they are actually data and they're only distinguished from other data for security reasons.
Android may be using a different definition of data but that's the real world definition and they know it. If it's a different definition it's something they invented for this special purpose. So what I think I'd do is see if I can find exactly what their definition of data is in this case. It might just include everything.
Media is really a subset of data if it's media in a device. A paperback book won't fall under any computer definition of data although it would fall under other definitions. The same is true for a movie playing in a theater, although that's probably digital data in some computer.
I'm probably not being very helpful here but it might get easier if you do find out just how they're using the term "data".
