Radio Plays (Audiobooks or Spoken Word)?

I know I am resurrecting an old thread… but this was a sensible discussion on Audio Drama. We created the Audio Drama type in this thread. And now we need some input from fellow Audio Drama \ Audiobook users. How to enter an audio drama into the database the best?

A user is deleting the Author from the Release Artist on many Doctor Who Releases and replacing that with the list of all the actors instead. Example edit: https://musicbrainz.org/release-group/069fd5fd-8878-4e93-b79d-01a66b20cbb7/edits

We have a huge collection of Audio Dramas and Audiobooks here at MB. A single user is trying to re-write the standard based on the fact they have uploaded a heap of data without any media. Instead of correcting their errors they are expecting the API to be re-written.

The Release Artist should be the Author. Or as suggested here in this thread by @Yurim post 12 the Author and some of the major actors. Always keeping the Author in the list is a common theme in this thread.

Audio Book \ Audio Drama users we need some input and opinions. :slight_smile: We need to find a way that handles all different types of Audio Drama releases and not just a single Doctor Who series.

I worry about the large authors like Douglas Adams \ Terry Pratchett as they have made Releases under their name as the main Artist but the changes now being carried out by this user would mean these authors would loose those Releases and be demoted to Works level.

Please help the conversation.
