Dear All,
I’m wondering how to enter information in MusicBrainz about an audiobook that has concretely only one track but multiple chapters. The file is an M4B file.
Shall I consider having multiple tracks representing the chapters, or should I number all the track with the same number, or is there something else I should consider?
What is the appropriate approach?
Moreover, does anyone know if there’s a way to make Picard to tag correctly M4B files?
Thanks in advance for your guidance.
Unfortunately Picard isn’t able to tag m4b chapters correctly - you could open a ticket asking for the functionality on the ticket tracker, it seems it hasn’t been requested before: https://tickets.metabrainz.org/
I know I have added m4b releases both split into chapters and as a single track in the past. Until we have a better way of handling these, adding both seems like a good solution, if you are keen to be thorough thorough. Here is a great example of both being entered:
On a similar note, how should it be handled when there’s both a set of MP3 files as well as an M4B file available for download, like for audiobooks from libro.fm? I can upload the tracks for the MP3s and that works well, but I’d also like to be able to use AcoustID with the M4B file. Should this be a separate release or an additional medium perhaps?
