Then the title should be changed from "CD Album" world,to "CD" world to accomodate all CD's,regardless of content by your reckoning,surely?.
If an Audiobook format choice were added to Book world,then they would have a home
We've had this conversation in the past,and,surely the question that first should be asked,is,what is it?,it's a book IMHO,regardless of what format it's on.
(Anyhow,no doubt Mods will do as they please,it seems to be one rule for them,one for us)
Addenda > I initially suggested that Audiobooks be given a home on Book world as having worked in charity shops for a number of years,i have seen many,many hundreds of examples,and the thought of all these being added to CD Album world gave me the shivers,having thousands of them would not aid searches,and would lead to confusion IMHO.
If you were to go with "the format first" proposal,please bear in mind that many Audiobooks were/are issued on cassette also,and i've seen some on Audio DVD,and a few on Memory stick too.
They would then be spread over CD Album/Tape Media/and DVD worlds,surely not ideal! (much cross-linking;).
So,would they not be better on the one world?,for the sake of adding some format options to Book World.
