Topic: Audio Book World

25th Jan 2025, 4:48 PM
	gregs45s SUBS Member since Apr 2012 7532 Points	A member has recently (rightly IMHO) asked the "Audio Book" question again and ... I realise this has been discussed in the past, but, as more and more CD Audio Books are being added to "CD Album" world, is it not time to consider a separate "Audio Book World" where Audio books on all formats could be added, as, i think there are surely thousands of these, if not hundreds of thousands!. For me, and others i suspect, "CD Album" World is not the first place to look for a book!, it's a book foremost, regardless of what format it's on, CD, Cassette, Digital etc, and belongs either on "Books" world as a format option, as they have publishers and ISBN numbers there, and it's a book!, or, given that there are a great many Audio books, it's own, separate world especially if the total number of Audio Books out there would warrant it. Personally, we have two worlds currently, CD Album and CD Single world, and both intuitively are for music, not books. If it was just one world, i.e. "CD World", (i.e the Format argument), then that's a different scenario, then every CD could be thrown into one pot, singles and albums, books and everything else on CD, which, i'm sure nobody really wants? (I,m just asking the question again before some poor MOD has to start transfering the ever growing number of them over;)(if a descision is made of course;) Just throwing it out there again, please forgive;) Edited by gregs45s on 25th Jan 2025, 5:05 PM
