===Historical discussion===

This could be useful for audiobooks, but also for other albums like this one: [http://www.musicbrainz.org/showalbum.html?albumid=175913 http://www.musicbrainz.org/showalbum.html?albumid=175913]

something like this:
* artistX narrated albumY
* albumY has narration by artistX

Discussion

Live albums often have introductions spoken by someone on the stage or other spoken parts. Example: Once in Agony. Should this relationship also be used for this? --Shepard

  • Maybe we can also add IntroductionRelationshipType? To answer your question: it feels a bit weird to call what you are describing "narrating", but I'd have no problem with people using the NarratorRelationshipType... (if you don't think the terminology is a bit awkward) --azertus
    • Naah, IntroductionRelationshipType would be a bit breaking a fly on the wheel. I'm just thinking if it would be better to have a more generic relationship type for this like "artist X spoke album/track Y". And also I see parallels to vocal performances so perhaps this could be all put in one class. --Shepard
    Wouldn't it be enough to change it to "speaker"? That would fit for any case, when an "artist is speaker on track/album"? --Fuchs
    • I see what you mean, but I feel narrating is a specific enough case to be a a type on its own. I propose the following: we add SpeakerRelationshipType, which can be used to ARify introductions, dialogues, etcetera. NarratorRelationshipType is then only to be used in the specific cases outlined on this page. --azertus
