If you want to just list the readers, the archive page for the project often but not always lists the readers and you can just copy and past it into the read by on the cover like on this page https://archive.org/details/voice_of_the_void_1903.poem_librivox

Wonderful, thank you. And the fun goes on - just type in the publisher's name on image search Guess I have to review my approach of making covers.
Well, at least they seemed to have learned that Black Beauty is a horse...
Hilarious! Loved the "Sea Lion" one!
But, to be fair:
At least they don't go down the "booktitle BY author" road. That's a huge no-go, and they avoided it!
(Probably the reason why they ended up in the ditch of the weird covers is that they swerved at the "BY" pothole and never recovered from that one... )

That one you can survive, really But I'll consider to avoid it on future covers. Have seen it too often, in different places (and no, I really do like good books!).

Just sharing a tip that I shared with msfry on the main Covers thread on how to add time in Excel so you can quickly calculate the total running time of an audiobook:
It's very simple
1. Copy and paste the table into Excel.
2. Scroll to the bottom of the 'Time' Column until you reach an empty cell, and type in "=SUM(", then immediately after that highlight all of the columns containing the numbers you wish to add up.
3. After all of them have been highlighted, the cell should list all of the cells you highlighted. For example, if the 'Time' column was column E, it would be "=SUM(E2:E38". Close the parentheses so it says "=SUM(E2:E38)".
4. Press enter! And the sum will come up!
Excel is clever enough to register the colons between the numbers as indicating time, so it will round up every 60 rather than 100!

Does it start the odometer over at 24 hours? LibreOffice doesn't know to keep the extra day when a project is, say, 25 hours.
