Well, it may be, but it may not be too. Now that I have pushed in one direction, watch me pulling in the other. Who was saying that MB was a madhouse a few days ago?
In classical, we need this because - works are often small enough that more than one work fits on one release - quite a few releases offer extracts from works Which means the title of a classical release is often remotely only related to the works. So we really needed a way to identify the work a track came from. I don't know about audio books. If 99.99% of audio books are complete readings of the original work, I'd say it's no use bothering. But if the situation offers issues similar to classical frequently enough (essentially more than one work on one release), I guess including the work title in the track title makes sense. 2009/1/7 Bram van Dijk <bram_van_d...@hotmail.com> > OK, I guess I should have though some more before replying. > I now agree that adding the book name to the track titles really is a > good idea. > Bram > > Aaron Cooper schreef: > > Also, including the book/work name is used in the CSG. > > > > On 7-Jan-09, at 9:59 AM, "Frederic Da Vitoria" <davito...@gmail.com > > <mailto:davito...@gmail.com>> wrote: > > > >> Ah, but the book is not the release.
