Style for narrations of works of literature

Attention.png Status: This is work in progess and a ProposedStyleGuideline.

Initially the old StyleDude decided not to have a guideline for audio books. However, WolfSong and g0llum are going to write an AudioBookStyle, which should be applied to AudioBooks for some consistency of the Track Titles.

Initial "Style": NoAudioBookGuideline

  • As the database is set up primarily as a music resource audio books and other related spoken word releases do not map very well into the current data-set. As such, audio books and other related spoken word releases are allowed in the database but there will be no official standards for how they are entered, sorted or categorised, nor will there be any official style guidelines for them. If people wish to create their own style guidelines for audio books and other related spoken word releases they are free to do so, but there will be NoAudioBookGuideline.

New Guideline for Audio Books

The most important characteristic of such a guideline is to ensure that the tracks are sorted in the right sequence, if a user chooses to rename the tracks without the track number -> encode Chapter and Sub-chapters into the trackname.

Example

Discussion

Why not let the title start with [part 01] followed by the real title, chapter or nothing if there is no title? The numbers should be in a row even if the audiobook consists of multiple discs. (Ingo Maßmann aka Terz)
